Ive also put this on the Lounge under 'show me yours and i'll show you mine' but its about being an altar boy at CLONARD Monastry:
Knocked this up after a few gargles:
Midnight mass and Oxford Brogues
The nicest clothes and sittin with rogues
The pews are full and the stench of beer
Fills my heart with a sense of fear
The eve of our saviour is on us all
And in the crib i see a doll in a shawl
My time is here on the altar tonight
My ma and da so full of delight
Brother Dominic and Father O'donnell
have both conveyed that all will be well
the stage is set and i'm ready to play
i'm dressed to serve for Christmas day
For I'm now a man of many years
But to think of that altar wells me with tears
Sure them Oxford Brogues are no longer in fashion
and my love for god is not such a passion
But I'll never forget the love of them people
who gathered beneath that great church steeple
Midnight mass and Oxford Brogues at Clonard
