A Synod for the Thames
On the Occasion of the Amazon Synod
Five merry English friars
Gathered along the Thames
Near where the Isis joins up higher
And there they sang four hymns:
One for the ale, one for the beer
One for the burgundy pinched from the hall
One for the whisky that costs so dear
And one for sweet Joan, who served them all
And after they prayed an Ave and a Pater
They pitched a Roundhead into the water!
(All true Christians know impish Joan, who in the Robin Hood stories serves ale “of good October brewing” at the Blue Boar Inn.)
