Mary Mishmash

 

 

There once was a woman named Mary Mishmash, she was silly in so many ways.

She wanted to try to be spiritual but yet also follow the world’s latest craze.
So she thought ‘How can I form a new method, to portray Jesus to those who don’t know?
I guess I’ll find the right pastor to instruct me on which way I should go!’
It didn’t take long in New Laodicea, for churches there were a dime a dozen.
She found a certain Pastor Hodgepodge (who turned out to be her first cousin!)
 
His council struck her enthusiastically;
Although his demeanor had an element of plasticity!
She followed all his words whimsically;
(So I guess they are also relatives in complicity?)

Whatever struck her fancy was destined to become a part of this new tradition.

She left no stone unturned in searching, anything could become an addition.
‘Are there grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Maybe I’ll find some such treasure!’
So Mary’s zeal carried her like a chariot till she found out all of her pleasure.

On the first Saturnday of the month named for Janus…

 

We shall call a day of remembrance of the marriage when Jesus turned water to wine.
It’s a holiday as a marriage for resemblance for opposing elements we will combine!
A trumpet can sound in the morning to remind us of our Lord’s return.
This will help us remember that our lusts should only moderately burn.
We can start off with moderate drinking- We’ll have a cake and eat it too!
Our liberty won’t complicate our thinking- If it’s for Jesus it’s holy all the way through!
All will put on a wedding garment- which will be worn throughout all of the day
Color is anyone’s preference- striped or spotted; everyone can have his own say!
At evening we can let off fireworks and illuminate the sky with light.
And this can represent Jesus return, coming as a thief in the night.
And although just a spark and fleeting the Lord’s coming appears a delay
We’ll be sheep left in the dark and bleating; and tomorrow will be another day.’
