Christian Ethics Poem by Tan Pratonix

I
Onky Bonk the Blessed Frog
Preaches Sunday morning at six
To his co-brothers in the bog
On Christian Ethics.

II
Faith and hope and charity
Are the essence of the Christian creed;
But what is faith? We all agree
It's belief in a single God.
Therefore, brothers, let none of you
Look down upon Muslim or Jew;
Political power, wealth and brains
Are found among the heathens.

And what is hope? Do not despair
In times of famine, sickness or war;
Modern technological methods
Have proved a hundred per cent better
Than old-fashioned prayer.
Religion must keep up with the times. There-
Fore, brothers, Socialism
Is the way to Seventh Heaven.

Coming down to charity,
It's a technique in Banking Theory;
At the Biblical rate of hundred-fold
A dollar a day for fifty years, at compound interest,
Accumulates what not all the gold
In this world can equal. Besides, you buy
A seat in Heaven for anything Freely Given.

III
The sermon over, at half past six,
Hymns are sung by the Tadpole Choir
In praise of Christian Ethics
In the Woggie Mire.

IV
Reverend Bonk drives home in a car
And all the poor Froggies cheer.
