Monotheistic Polyamory

She built him a temple for one.
She offered monogamous fun,
“If you’ll but kneel, 
You’ll cop a feel!”
To worship, head first he did run.

But when the prayer was said and done,
He turned and smiled at a nun. 
“If you’ll unveil,
It’s you I’ll hail!”
From her habit, quickly she spun.

Shouting polytheistic praise,
He felt the holy spirits raise.
The one he spurned,
Her temple burned.
As monotheism set ablaze.
