Divine Intervention

A girl with her mind in the gutter
Did not know why her heart would flutter
A priest came along
Who knew what was wrong
And showed her the way to churn butter

Good one! If priests were allowed to marry they wouldn't have to play milkmen. Can't the Catholic church read scripture? Peter was married as were other disciples, and mandatory celibacy was not part of the Mosaic law as far as Jewish disciples were concerned. Thank you for commenting on my work. / M

Mahalo, Connie! Though an ancient art, I am surprised anyone today knows churning butter builds strong wrists! Aloha! Rico
