Father John Fitz 1929-2004
Where did you go with
your drinker's
nose?
Bogarting cigarettes while
cleaning chalk boards
with children
Breaking yardsticks over
little hands for
mispronouncing
Agricola
I fondly remember
tricking you into praying
for the soul of
Johnny Wadd
The obit said you loved
singing
opera
Why does that
terrify
me
the
most?
Amen
