Salute Each Other With a Sacred Kiss
Panagiota's popular sen'ryu -
"Kiss Me, I'm Irish" ended with "No"
Because of Covid-19, Corona Virus, mind you
Now the churches have a limit
On the numbers who worship or visit
"50, by proclamation" - and the Eucharist?
Will we share the same cup, the Wine?
I recall Romans 16:16 on bonds that bind
"Greet each other with a holy kiss," - a future time!
In the future, we shall "salute each other" with holy affection
Kissing allowed, but not the French variation
Pecking, or Near East cheekiness, the recommendation
Cheek-to-check without exchange of fluids
May remind us of of Inuit, ancients, the Druids
While big churches lose tithes, offerings, Almighty dollars
