Daye 94 / St. Nicholas Hall

st nicholas hall
sends greetings to all
of the lambs who have strayed from the fold
a message sent
from sister content
you remember her as your dean
she is mean
and incredibly old

give to the building fund
the chapel’s ramshackle and small
god’s in his home on high
we are not afraid to die
we need new text for zoology
heaven’s equal and free
there’s a banquet
for the missal-mart
the menu will be a la carte

the lutherans hell
is threatening as well
all the ignorant orphans in spain
our mission there
is draughty and bare
tho’ the sisters never complain
not one convert will go there again

but to help the preists
in the scandalous east
i have asked just a few of you girls
god’s glorious kingdom surely is not of this world

blessed are the pure in heart
we need a new organ by june
blessed are the merciful
the old one’s badly out of tune
blessed are the peacemakers
please send us the money soon
sincerely yours in jesus
your dean
