Peace be with you
As you receive
Peace be with you
As you taste, as you play
Eight monks
Five in white
One of which, the elder
Has tangerine trimmings
Ten in the congregation
Only I did not go forwards
For the sacrament
Peace be with you as you play
A piece of theatre, stage direction
By the guy who did say:
Same as it’s ever been
But each year one less monk
This time the absent one
Was the big, miserable looking chap
Who went out into the dry night
With an umbrella
