thrives again:
Bloody cocoa –
Cadbury creaming Easter,
Dusting down
From Christmas –
Another killing
Thrilling young
Enterons –
And self-serving elders
Fogged in milk and dark
While:
How distant cries our church,
WAY OUT! –
Rarefied –
Mist
Di ss ip at ing
Thro’ modernistic cynicism,
Commercialised eternity:
‘What of Jesus? ‘ –
When the diapason drones
Expedience
Through 8-foot drab-grey
Obligations –
Parishioners down at the local
Are so demanding! –
Forget Bach –
You’ll need to see the show at your cathedral
(Bishop’s Broadway) for extra entertainment –
Wrists are under-worked
For organists
At Easter –
Says it all,
Really –
Singing disingenuously
Doesn’t cut it –
It ain’t a passport;
Tho’
A psalm for children out of school
Lends well to ragged ears,
So pull out the brighter stops:
But
What’s Easter?
