The Sin of a Priest

The Sin of a Priest At a school outing, the pupils stayed overnight Sleeping on a barn hayloft the leader was a cherubic-looking priest Blond and chubbily fat. In the night, the priest's hand sought and found What it was looking for The boy felt intense pleasure, but he dared not to breath When the deed was done, his hand moved Away and the boy fell asleep In the morning, the priest said: “you must be Of the devil's sprog to come and tempt me I forgive you,” said the cleric and let us not Mention this again The boy, fearful of God and the devil Never spoke of this abuse again
