Sorry, Fr. John

poem by: R.T. Aquinas
Written on Apr 13, 2018

Mary, that is the baby's name,
Father John took the girl from her mum
Whilst Little Mary was sleeping and suckling her thumb
Slowly and gentle, the young girl awoke
But before the Old Priest even spoke,
Little Mary let out a tremendous scream

My ears now ringing, I could not hear
What Father John was saying, even though he was standing so near.
Little Mary quietened just a little bit
But when he put the girl over the font to wet her head
She treated his arm like it was her bed
She dropped off to sleep again

Soon enough the ceremony was done.
And twelve years later
She's still an awkward sod.
And I know our Old Priest is now gone
But there's still one thing we need to say:
Sorry, Father John.

Hehe, that sounds like me. I'm told I bit the Priest who Christened me. xx
