Day At The Parish-Μια Ημέρα Στην Ενορία

Rating: 4.9


-Father, is it a sin

to wear a mini skirt?

-Depends on the legs

my dear girl



-Is it a sin, father

to get drunk with rum?

-Ask me again when

I am sober my son



-Father, many sins I bear

I need to confess

-Is it urgent, child?

The match will kick off!



-Father, what your

sermon will be about?

-Annoying parishioners

who don't let me sleep!



-Father, it's the Bishop

on the phone

-You didn't see me

and I never saw you!




-Πάτερ, είναι αμαρτία

μίνι φούστα να φοράς;

-Απ'τα πόδια εξαρτάται

κορίτσι μου καλό


-Είναι αμαρτία πάτερ

με ρούμι να μεθάς;

-Ρώτα με ξανά,

ξεμέθυστος σα θα 'μαι, γιε μου


-Πάτερ, πολλές αμαρτίες φέρω

θέλω να εξομολογηθώ

-Είναι επείγον παιδί μου;

το ματς αρχίζει όπου να 'ναι


-Πάτερ, για τι θα λέει

το κήρυγμά σου;

-Για ενορίτες ενοχλητικούς

που μου χαλούν τον ύπνο


-Πάτερ, ο Επίσκοπος

στο τηλέφωνο σας ζητά

-Ούτε που σε είδα

ούτε που με είδες!

God made all of us unique, Father. And that's what makes us so special!

Ha ha ha, people may forget that priests are human too and also have a sense of humor.

Amusing, Kostas. Reminds me of Holy Willie's Prayer by Robert Burns. Nicely done.

-Father, it's the Bishop on the phone -You didn't see me and I never saw you! ' ...I wonder if there is/are 1 OR 2 people speaking here. THE REST of this poem 'IS ALL GREEK TO ME'! ! : ))

'-Father, what your' ...I'd put 'will' after 'what'. It's probably a 'typo'.

stanza 3: I assume 'the girl' is referring to a soccer/'football' match, which she probably wants to see on TV. ;)

Kostas, Before I even read these lines [[[ THESE: '-Father, is it a sin to wear a mini skirt? -Depends on the legs my dear girl]]] I was thinking the same thing! ! ! ;)
