Should I Tell the Bishop?
Am I to grab this nasty neighbour
by the scruff of his scruffy neck,
shove his head against
that lovely hard wall between our apartments,
and hear a delightful crack?
He is not as gracious as
my friend the bishop.
And so I laugh so much
when I think about it,
loving the nasty neighbour as much as I do not.

Trial of Bridget Bishop
Salem Village, Massachusetts
May 11, 1692
Of evil works in league with the devil, I am accused.
Spit upon, bolts tethered in chains, I have been abused.
People mardle I cast spells of palsie to make them twitch.
Blinded by fear, they labeled me a sorceress, a witch.
Superstition is to blame for blinding their eyes.
I claim innocence when affronted by

THE BISHOP AND ME
After an election that has left us divided…a nation torn apart…
one bishop hoped her words would resonate…would find a way into our hearts.

words filled with hope and humility.
She made a plea for, respect, for honesty
for compassion, for kindness and empathy
She spoke of her hopes and wishes…simply…unpretentiously…

she was a bishop
she was a bishop
all of her moves were zigzag
the queen hated her
the knights stayed away
the rooks made fun of her
weird since they moved in straight lines
she thought that was totally blah
the king did not say a word
allowing whatever to happen, happen
she wished she was not his daughter
she had only heard his voice once
it was not

New Episcopal Female Bishop
New Episcopal Female Bishop
She stood tall while people would applaud;
Her award had been based on love of God,
And Son who from Him one day did shed;
Crucified on cross and to death had bleed.
Prestigious honor upon her was bestowed,
And how great face looked when it glowed;
With effervescent faith she had been bridled;
Her position of Bishop she

Bishop Bougram's Apology
'Tis in a manner far from thrasonical
That I come to you in full canonical
What I chose to do was to instill my love
On acolytes below while I was above
When the holy Church I entered in my prime
I, the Church,entered many, time after time
Those altar cherubs whom I picked out
