Lenten Let-Down

Grab your partner, swing, now do si do

As a "good" Catholic girl, don't ya know

Curtsy

I fervently chose what pleasure to do without

For 40 days, The Good Book did shout

Curtsy

Good Catholics were supposed to forego

All the things, sins, that made them glow

Curtsy

Pain, suffering, hardship the season's theme

So that, in pain, more like Him we'd seem

Curtsy

One fine day, in my optimistic (sinful) youth

I hit on what might be, for me, the hardest truth

Curtsy

To my sister beside me I shared what made me queasy

"I'm giving up sarcasm...  that should be easy!!"

Curtsy

So, I blew it (sarcasm) before I'd even begun to try

Since then I've left the church, I'm sure you know why!!
