Magnificat:
From this anthem of Mary
Comes the English “magnify.”
The Christian God
Lifts Mary in her small identity
To present her with a natal duty that drew nigh.

Fiat:
It’s quite simple,
But to hesitant Mary,
A second or two was needed
To confirm the angel was being true.
This “yes” of Mary eventually whirled from her lips
And accepted God’s Son to be seeded.
Take heed that quotational words are translations both times.  Hope you enjoy!

Let's look at this tale of Robin Hood,
He was far away, being way too good,
Rob the rich, give to the poor,
Maid Marian left open her door,
She was feeling way too generous,
Got it on with Little John, no fuss,
Far away was Robin Hood,
Really, he was much too good,
Then in came Friar Tuck,
In with Maid Marian he snuck,
Then they both got it on,
With hyperactive Little John,
Yes, Maid Marian was benevolent,
Indeed, they all knew what that meant,
Thus, this twisted tale of Robin Hood,
John, Tuck, no Robin Hood the good!
