"I wish they would not call me that."
It's just an expression of endearment." I said,
but after her words fell into my meditation
I thought about it a lot.
Devotees are affronted,
when she is just named Mary.
I mean we were all virgins at one time.
being the very expression of God,
we also had mothers.
If you really want to adore Mary
then tell her she is a beautiful lady,
most virtuous and motherly.
Don't try to seduce her with flattery,
as if being called a virgin for all time
was some kind of highfaluting compliment!
Let her into you, make her comfortable,
let her be a woman.

Did I hear someone say, “is he for real?”
You betcha, this is me, the real damn deal
No airs, no facade
A simple old sod
Happy to dish out giggles with my highfaluting spiel

A short dissertation on a natural phenomenon
That takes place many times every day
Sometimes at the most inopportune moments
Like in a theatre at a Shakespearian play
If the emission has a really pungent odour
Folks will certainly notice the foul breeze
However, the criteria is it must be silent
As you inadvertently cut the cheese
An essence of chutney is actually not bad
If accompanied by a hint of geraniums
But these highfaluting people must be warned
It can sometimes damage their craniums
So that's all I will say about this taboo subject
Hope you enjoyed it as I did from the start
Please don't call it a vulgar flatulence
Just call it by its happy name... fart!
