Family Doggerel
My children, my children,
my jewels of my heart.
Time, death, and distance
will ne’er long us part.
My children, my children,
my jewels of my heart.
Time, death, and distance
will ne’er long us part.
The one Lord,
from the two branches hung,
three days in the grave,
the four quarters saved
I was reading D&C 1 and felt a General Conference Doggerel coming on.
Lord, I come to you with but 10 sins
Or if you press me, how ’bout just one sin?
A faint little sin, like it hardly had been.
And the Good Lord said, divide it by ten.
Inspired by Rozy, I wrote a poem in the style I call General Conference Doggerel, though bluer.
(For you single people, sorry. Your display of the nameless virtue is honorable.)
Here goes.

Remember the reason
for the season
a reason you can’t forget
To get gifts beyond reason
his gifts that are legion
without limit or merit or let.
