Dear Friends
Good morning - I hope you’re well
We’ll be sending Bishop John’s Pastoral Letter later but in the meantime how about a couple of clerihew’s by WH Auden, apparently he used to compose them in bed when he couldn’t sleep :
Lord Byron
Once succumbed to a Siren:
His flesh was weak,
Hers Greek.
And
Sir Henry Rider Haggard
Was completely staggered
When his bride-to-be
Announced, 'I am She!’
Don’t worry; the Bishop’s letter is much more sensible.
St Joseph, patron of family life, pray for us
Every blessing
Fr John
