Daddy Of Them All.
She claimed she was oh-so-pure,
Maintained it was none but he she’d love,
Gave her cross-my-heart swear-to-god word,
Then her bitter tears cascaded to the ground
And she wailed for all she was worth.
So sweet, innocent, oh-so-demure,
Inculpable of what he was thinking of,
Still, that ol’ devil doubt uneasily stirred,
He looked up, but no answer there he found;
Can angels fall, down here on earth?
Sure, now he might not be quite so sure,
But hadn’t his love sworn to heaven above?
Then when the magical miraculous event occurred
Rather than let the bad word get spread around
Father Joe and mother Mary announce: a virgin birth.
(I fear an apology is necessary,
So, sorry.
If I’ve offended I meant no harm,
So, so sorry.
Sweet Jesus, Joseph and Mary,
Christ knows I’m sorry.
I pray the third one’s the charm?)

I’m rather fond of the layers in this one…

I endeavoured to slip a little extra tartness, just subtly, in each verse. I could be wrong, miracles can happen! Perhaps, in the sweet mysteries of life sometimes the most obvious answer isn’t the one that people want to hear. Anyway,fact is, someone printed the legend and that old book’s been a best seller for millennia.
