Forgiveness For Ridiculous Reader

He had a darn, decent education
Though given to a prehistoric passion
So, when it came to reading prose
He thought he simply smelled like a rose

Now, he said he knew Jesus Christ Cornerstone
Jesus heard His name taken in vain (Not Jesus alone)
Why would writing well and well-roundedly
Of dead folk make him act so primitively?

Because he had never practised love at home
O there is love and sex, such as seen with everyone
But really listen and love, a language foreign to him
So the cycle continues: no love at home, none in the nation
