Clerics

 

 

Aaron

 There was a fine preacher called Aaron,

Who lived by the Bible, and thereon

 Would lecture with pleasure,

 In moments of leisure,

 To girls whom he chose to lie bare on.

 

 

Bishop

Two disgraceful young harlots from Birmingham

 Still shock with the story concerningham.

 They raised parts of the frock,

 And entirely the cock,

 Of the bishop, who kept on confirmingham.

(inspired by a classic)

 

 

Bongo

An evangelist went to the Congo

To preach to the men of A’Wongo

 Of virgin-born birth.

 Contesting its worth,

 They recycled his hide on a bongo.

(inspired by a classic)

 

 

Kind Christian

There was a kind Christian of Crewe

 Granting favours beyond her man’s view.

At the sound of his humming,

 She panicked, ‘He’s coming!’

  ‘Don’t stop,’ begged the vicar, ‘Me, too!’

(inspired by a classic)

 

 

Mary

 Pregnant Mary was reading divinity,

 So had to proclaim her virginity.

 When she gave triplets birth,

 They engendered great mirth,

 But they fostered, as well, a new Trinity.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, students are said to be "reading" the subjects they have chosen to study. Trinity is also one of the colleges of Cambridge. In my story, it probably became a shrine.

Bishop of Gloucester

 He has, the false bishop of Gloucester,

 No virgins at all on his roster.

An entered name’s not

Therefore prone to scream what

 The vile Gloucester imposter has cost her.

 

 

Haartz

There was a chased brother called Haartz

Who once warned, ‘Any bugger who starts

To approach me for sex will

Be risking their necks till

  The abbot’s grown tired of my parts.’

 

 

Missionary

The kind missionaries preached to Hawaiians

 Of God and His Heavenly High ’Uns,

But watching the rude way

Some brazen maids screwed, they

 Spent less and less time on the shy ’uns.

 

 

Jehovah's witness

A brave witness of Holy Jehovah

 Once waved, on the A2 near Dovah,

His odd little tracts that

Got shredded. The fact’s that

 Jehovah forgot to shout, ‘Rovah!’

 

 

Crow

 There came screams, which alarmed crows for miles,

 From beneath the great bells of St. Giles.

 Cried the vicar, ‘My God!

Has that thoughtless young sod

 Quite forgotten the bishop has piles?’

(inspired by a classic)

 

 

Ives

 From the Pope to the souls in the pews,

 The whole Church is aghast at the news:

It appears Father Ives

Has had seventeen wives

But declines to tell congregants whose.

 

 

Missionary

The poor missionary’s humour was not

 Much improved by the place card he got,

 Since he felt savage sinners,

 When giving priest-dinners,

 Should not make them sit in the pot.

 

 

Monk

A Jewish-born monk, Solly Sabbat,

Objected to many a habit,

So he put shards of glass,

With great care in his ass,

And thus circumcised many an abbot.

(inspired by a classic)

 

 

Skunk

A punk who was drunk stole a skunk

 From the junk in the trunk of a monk.

 He was soon in bad odour,

So rightly bestowed her

 On the monk in a funk, whom she stunk.

 

 

Vicar

There was a shy vicar of Twickenham

 Who visited homes with wives sick in ’em.

The most bored he discovered

 Doing crosswords, uncovered,

 Were asked if they wanted his dictionary.
