‘Fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly.’ (Mark 7:22)
A little girl went missing
But she’s found
A woman has gone missing
And feared drowned
A policeman goes to jail
For twenty years of crime
And a sexual culture in our schools
Hurts girls every time
And on TV we have a show on ‘Poo’
It’s very good
It shows you what to do
When trouble in the digestive tract
Causes pain and we retract
The wisdom of our doctors pulls us through
Our diet and digestion keeps us well
From eating till the moment to expel
It’s the vices we consume that cause the hurt
The evil that proceeds from the heart
The Lord enumerates today
Twelve vices that are constantly in play
If we want a healthy body politic
Listen to the gospel and be quick
