I have given up sex for Lent
Which is to some small
extent
An empty gesture on my
part
As to stop I’d first
need to start

I HAVE GIVEN UP SEX FOR LENT # 3
IT’S LENT ONCE AGAIN
It’s Lent once again
That time of year
To de-clutter, A time
To tidy and clear
But it’s not the time
To tidy the garden
shed
The garage or the loft
Or even under the bed
Lent is the time when
Spring cleaning begins
When we cleanse our
souls
And wash away our sins
ASH WEDNESDAY FIRST DAY OF LENT
The palm branches blessed on Palm Sunday,
Are the following year,
burnt and blessed again
And placed on the
heads of the participants
To the accompaniment
of the familiar refrain
“Remember that you are
dust, and to dust you shall return”
And the Lenten season
has begun once again
LENT
This time of year is significant
For what Lent
represents
But I have racked my
brains
And don’t know what to
give up for lent
I really don’t know
what to give up
I don’t have a sweet
tooth
And I neither smoke
nor drink
No vices at all and
that’s the truth
So despite its
significance
For what Lent
represents
I have come to the
conclusion
It’s easier just to
give up lent
I HAVE GIVEN UP FOR LENT
I have given up for lent
Pate de fois gras
Lobster thermadore
And Beluga caviar
Well in a way
I’ve never had them
ever
But I won’t have them
Between now and Easter
PUT DOWN # 33
Put downs work the best
For deflecting
unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
When he sidles up to you with his pick up line
Which will be dumb like as not
Just say to him first
“Hi I know a village
that’s looking for and idiot”
IT’S LENT ONCE MORE
It’s Lent once more
A time to cleanse the
soul
Empty the trash
And let Christ keep us
whole
Clear the spam
Empty the buffers of
sin
Deny yourself
And let the lord back
in
It’s Lent once more
Pray to your saviour
for peace
Cleanse your soul
Then your penance can
cease
