The Priest Who Wants To Rest

Whoever dwells now in that nest? Nightingales? Or the priest who wants to rest? Wherever is my cousin, the pest? With Ted? Or the priest who wants to rest? This morning a minor sin I confessed. To whom? To the priest who wants to rest. Look! He is getting undressed! Who? The priest who wants to rest. Hush! Quiet or he'll be distressed! Who? The priest who wants to rest. You speak Manx? He'll be impressed! Who? The priest who wants to rest. I need ants! Who can help in my quest? You? Or the priest who wants to rest? TV shan't get your brain blessed. Who said so? The priest who wants to rest. He claims to have climbed the Everest. Yikers! The priest who wants to rest? Dinner is ready but we're missing a guest! Which one? The priest who wants to rest. Toilet's occupied! I can't hold it! I protest! Who's in there? The priest who wants to rest!!! He's done with his nap. Yes, you guessed. Bingo! The infamous priest that you detest.

This is somewhat different from usual writes. The repetition undoubtedly leaves its mark. By the way, what did this priest do to merit this "entertaining" piece (as Andrea said)? :) // paul
