I’ve been trying to get the last line of each verse to scan better in the absence of the ‘O’ (which is hidden in the vocative, but well hidden indeed since deus is an irregular vocative…)

Kimberley,

I’m sure that there is something holy about fudge doughnuts. Holey, anyway. Come by here, my Lord, we have fudge doughnuts?

Episcopal Blogging
Apologies to Gareth for missing him off the list of Scottish Episcopal Bloggers. He does indeed merit an honoured place and has been included now. However, he appears to be making a claim to be the Mother of All Scottish Episcopal Bloggers by being able to show that he was posting since 9 June 2003.…
