The Flesh That Feeds Us

At the Christmas dinner we eat

the flesh of our saviour to honour him -

but the schism, alas, has divided

our faith, so that when we

eat and honour the pig,

they in error bless

the turkey in their bellies!

Oh lord Pig who for our sins

and hunger gave your life,

from their heresies our brethren save

- make them burn the turkey

and let them eat thy flesh

that opens the heavenly gates!
