Benefit Of Clergy
Thank you for your loud report
Before we kneel (for we must pray)
We know it took a lot of thought
But God, you see, is hardly gay
We listened to your lengthy speech
We simply thought you’d better know
That though He was a decent peach
Our God was very hetero
God inspires many things
Power, awe, devotion, fear –
Of course we don’t know how He swings
But honestly, He’s not a queer
We get this from Leviticus
We get it from the Church Divine –
You say our view’s arthritic? Us? –
And God does not that way incline
We think it’s elementary
That God, incorporeal, trad
(Though come back in a century)
Is really quite a normal Dad
So, sorry for the ruined lives
The stigma and the moral blitz
I’m sure you’ll pray that Love survives
It’s God’s fault, we’re not hypocrites
