Bless me Father, for I have sinned
Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a
loose woman."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Tommy Shaughnessy?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And, who was the woman you were with?"
"Sure and I can't be tellin' you, Father. I don't want to
be ruining her
reputation."
"Well, Tommy, I'm sure to find out sooner or later, so you
may as well
tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Patricia Kelly?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Liz Shannon?"
"I'm sorry, but I'll not name her."
"Was it Cathy Morgan?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Fiona McDonald, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're a steadfast lad,
Tommy
Shaughnessy, and I admire that. But you've sinned, and you
must atone.
You cannot attend church for three months. Be off with you now."
Tommy walks back to his pew. His friend Sean slides over
and whispers
"What'd you get?"
Three month's vacation and five good leads
