Premium Member run to fun
My daddy—he once told me don’t ever play with nuns they’ll hit you with their rulers it won’t be any fun I snuck out of that prison and now I’m on the run Once freed from that schoolhouse I sunbathed in the sun I stayed out late, I went on dates looking out for number-one When I think of what I went through of all the...

Premium Member We Got a Crowd That's In a Frenzy Bob
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Chapter L.A. I like to think of [the habit] as a bonfire or a lighthouse, so that light can shine out into places where there are no resources and there isn’t a strong community—Sister Unity They’re the tricksters of the movement — they make us laugh, and laughing is powerful—Catholic activist Rosa...

Premium Member And Then There Were Nuns
Black hoodie, black gloves and a black balaclava Allegiances born of belligerent father A council estate with yards full of tyres A rucksack that’s laden with tin tacks and wires Cars outside boozers where loyalist losers Don’t spot the briefcase with time delay fuses One man and his neighbour of different persuasions Soldiers and ministers weighing equations Each side will tear...

Premium Member Subject, Aspects of Interest, and Effect of William Wordsworth's ''Nuns Fret Not''
“Nuns Fret Not at Their Convent's Narrow Room” by William Wordsworth Nuns fret not at their convent’s narrow room; And hermits are contented with their cells; And students with their pensive citadels; Maids at the wheel, the weaver at his loom, Sit blithe and happy; bees that soar for bloom, High as the highest Peak of Furness-fells, Will murmur by the hour in...

Parents and Sleep
If we knew in advance that all daughters and sons keep us up every night: yours and mine — everyone’s (teething, peeing and screaming, yet so INNOCENT-seeming), we’d be living in convents like well-rested nuns....

Nom Noms Not Numbers Nor Nautical Nuns
A rather dashing and exquisitely designed purple weather balloon was racing against a dark grey sofa, a beach towel, a cotton bud and a statue of king Kong the eighth. Across the beaded sky joined by the sea eagles whose breakfast could always be located in a mountainside by the ocean. The barriers were to...

Eight Nuns Running
Eight Nuns Running Eight nuns running down a path far below Ethel, Edith, Ellen, Barb each in deep snow From the way they all look might be putting up a gong show, till they all fall down while they're all wearing frilly long gowns. 08/08/15...

Nuns With Guns
Nuns With Guns Sister Agnes blessed us with a slap Every time we talked or answered back It was like the hand of God reached down from heaven To numb the face, to see the error of our ways Shock waves and stars felt with every blow Nuns leave no marks or evidence or clues that show Being black robed ninjas through...

Premium Member A Beauty Pageant For Nuns
An Italian priest on the other side of the ocean wanted to dispel a widely held notion. Most people believe nuns are old and ugly. Others accept them as intolerant and crabby. I have my own memories of them while in school. Most of the ones I used to know were not cool. As I look back, I now often feel...
