The Masquerades Now the faithful Are preparing the masquerades For a great festival in Two thousand and seven. Many hearts are highly beating, Highly panting like a raced deer, Because the Caines among them Have started their practice against the Abels. But the poet heard a voice Through a cartoon warning thus: “A couple was arranging for their wedding, and asked the baker to inscribe the wedding cake with: ‘1 John 4:18’ which reads: There is no fear in love, But perfect love casts out fear. “The baker evidently lost the scripture reference, but working from memory, beautifully inscribed on the cake ‘John 4:18’. “Imagine the shock of the few faithful who looked up the reference to read: ‘For you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband…….” The most educative was the title: “Sub contracting? Please always Re-check”. Now is the time The faithful has to Re-check the masquerades Before the Two thousand and seven Great festival To avoid these other words: Ntooo! Ochi! Mmeeeeeeeeeeeee!
