Last Monday
The Catholics came to Junior school last Monday
And took my sister out of Maths
The rules had changed
They'd read The Book
Averages could no longer be taught in class
"One, plus one, plus one, the teacher said, equals three
And divided by three is one.
But Jesus, plus God, plus the Holy Ghost equals,
One
And divided by three is
Infinite Power!"
My hamster passed away last Monday
His soul left to be judged
I hope that when the good are numbered
That God knows how to count.
