Penitence

Father Father bless me I bear a burden of sin sin a heavy block of tin pray God thee I need break free from the evil bondage I've in been from early age Father I'm the little mouse a squatter in the mission house My heart is full of mischief I'm that wanted thief who operates in the sacristy Eating the communion pastry and never the wine—none with you shares But you waste time to punish the innocent postulants for this act deemed devilish So implore God to graciously grant my confessional wish The postulants clean the chapel floor-pew-santuary clean I cause the daily trouble of spreading, litter, nuts and beans on the holy floor and yet you spark up your rage on the postulants for act of sacrilege I surrender all my iniquity and and my ungodly duty I surrender all So plead God to reverse any curse that must on my head befall What reparation or recitation must I do? so I can go to the postulants to apologize for stealing the communion wafer and putting the chapel in scatter for them to in your hands suffer But should I tell them you drink the wine too?
