On Hearing of The Death Of Hugh Heffner


"Why is it one bad apple has more power than one good one?"


 In the year the song ended, that famed playboy died 
And I pondered your legacy, {Hugh}, ..........and I cried

Yes I know the Lord's high and is still lifted up
{But I was parked outside Lidl at Boher Na Sop}

The Shekinah still drenches His Temples of clay
But you trampled those temples and doomed to decay:

My God  spoke not of bunnies all running to seed
Nor compared darling-daughters to rabbits in fields

He spoke Temples and tapestry fearfully woven
Those vessels of honour that Jesus had chosen

Precious vases that cradle tomorrow in wombs
Alive! Yes Anointed! Escaped from sins' tombs


Not vaunting and brazen and slashed on page three
but hidden and humble and glorious and free!

Just consider believers, who clutch I-phones like glue

Your'e a son of the Highest!

You're  not a McHugh  (Gaelic for son of Hugh)
