Father O'Sinner
Father O'Sinner Father O’Sinner is not his name (not quite), Though it should be and not O’Connor, Which was the name bestowed by his stepdad, Who drank and killed himself aged forty. Here he lies this foggy midnight on the cradle Of his drears and prayers. Faith does not Fructify; it is dirty. On a mattress Hard his rump Swells, bruises His core parts, the body revolts Amidst all this blasting and mildew. Life gone old and fat around the waist.
