Are You Going...?
*Benedíc nos Dómine et haec Túa dóna quae de Túa
largitáte súmus sumptúri. Per Chrístum Dóminum
nóstrum. Ámen*.
Miz Busy with her homemade apple pies
Uncle Alfie lapsing into a snore
Young lads and lassies making goo-goo eyes
Miss Billie’s cookies (shhh…they’re from the store)
Children frolicking only with their ‘phones
Jolly old Ed basting burnt barbecue
An altar boy gorging until he groans
The teenagers’ gross game of choke and chew
Young marrieds getting into a squabble
Politics roaring like a thunderstorm
Bubba came drunk; he’s beginning to wobble
Tox ‘tater salad that’s gotten warm
Unidentifiable glop upon a stick –
No, I’m not going to the parish picnic
