Saint Mary Magdalene’s Recycled Mobile ‘Phone
Her ‘phone was passed on to a parish priest
But they forgot to change the numbers and so
Her client-base kept telephoning him
At night, when the moon and the johns were full
“Confessions on Friday evening at seven”
Didn’t ring-a-ding anyone’s ding-ding
Maybe the lonely men in lonely rooms
Remembered then what their dear mamas said
And maybe they didn’t – life falls apart
Both in the street and at the Airport Inn
(predicated on a real event)
