Still More Limericks

by

H. Schwartz

The "Kiss of Peace" under the mistletoe

And holy's changed to holly

And Christmas has neither

Christ nor Mass

But we are very jolly.

This is a poem about Miss Apprehension

Who led a life of constant tension

Sometimes she'd reason

and sometimes she'd balk

But whatever she did took the form of talk.

This is a poem about modern friends

Whose business is to make amends,

For abandoning God they abandoned wit,

So now each one's dignity is infinite.

This is a poem about my relations

Who live without faith and await tribulations

Oh would that they might be inclined

To see that they, not God's unkind.

This is a poem about religious habits

Which are pretty hard to break

Because they're so equivocal

You don't know which sense to take.
