Notes About The Poem

Turin

I bought the shroud of Turin
the vatican had a sale
they have legal expenses
and priests that needed bail.

It was just an old dusty cloth
so I put it in the wash
that Tide detergent, never fails
all the smudges and stuff washed off.

don’t get excited, i was raised a catholic

The Illinois Enema Bandit was also raised a Catholic. They say he's on the loose ...

You’ll be fine as long as you stick to that bat sh** diet of tuna sandwiches, milk and potato chips.

If that guy tries comes around here, trying to steal the cleaned and patched shroud, I’ll gong him with a thurible. I got a few of those too.

The priest who taught my ninth grade history class was one of the ones who needed bail. What a shock when I found that out. I still have my yearbook that he signed.

OMG, I don't know any victims personally, but who knows? It's a scary situation.
