Anglicans:
Ding Dong! The Cov is dead. Which old Cov? The Wicked Cov!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Cov is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Cov is dead. It's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Cov is dead!

Barrister:
But we've got to verify it legally, to see
Mayor:
To see?
Barrister:
If it
Mayor:
If it?
Barrister:
Is morally, ethic'lly

Mayor:
Then this is a day of Independence For all Anglicans and their descendants
Barrister:
If any.
Mayor:Yes, let the joyous news be spread The wicked Old Cov at last is dead!
Don't blame me. Blame Canon G who says, "With apologies to the Wizard of OZ, English and good taste."
Don't believe that until a stake is through its heart and its head is off.
ReplyDeleteAnd its ashes strewn at the crossroad with wild rose petals!
DeleteLapin, you have a point, but if we say it over and over, perhaps it will be true. It's the putting-facts-on-the-ground strategy, which has worked rather well for the other side since the Windsor Report.
ReplyDeleteDear Grandme're...I sincerely hope that ya'll are right...methinks that ++ Robt Duncan and Co. , are burning the phone lines to the Southern Cone developing yet the next horrible strategy to take our eyes and energy from spreading the Gospel...
DeleteDallas LEM, if you read my blame disclaimer, then, in all fairness, if the lyrics are true, Canon G gets the credit. If not, well... ;-)
DeleteI'm certain that all sorts of plots and plans are afoot, with or without the covenant, but the document has been dealt a grievous blow. We'll have to wait and see whether it survives.
Oh, crumbs. As soon as the second rejection came in yesterday I started singing "Ding, dong, the witch is dead..." Not that I thought I was unique, mind you, but Canon G beat me to the adaptation.
ReplyDeleteChris, great minds... FWIW, Muthah came up with the idea, too.
