Our Lady of the
Perpetual Garbage Sale
It’s for the youth
Our parish hall is now a re-sale shop
All full of junk that never goes away
Boxes of videotapes and castoff slop
And smelly clothes that have had their day
It’s for the youth
The Mass no longer ends with “Ite, missa est”
But rather, “After Mass would some of the men…”
Shift the same old debris without let or rest
Sisyphean labors for original sin
It’s for the youth
Fellowship after Mass is tired and pale -
The one eternal is the garbage sale
But it’s for the youth
