	A puir wee kirk moose a' forlorn Its furry coat fair sairly worn Sank doon upon its bony knees and prayed- for just a wee bit cheese. The tears ran doon its wee thin cheeks But nane could hear the saddest squeaks That drifted oan the cauld nicht air Till whiles it couldnae pray nae mair. Syne daylight cam, the kirk bells rang The doors swung open wi' a bang Communion day had come oan by Wi' wine and plates o' breid held high. The wee moose lay as still as daith And watched it a' wi bated braith Then thocht- if I keep awfu' quate A bit micht jist fa' aff a plate. And so it gazed as roond they went Then jist as tho twas heaven sent Whit landed richt upon its heid Bit twa lumps o' communion breid. The staff o' life lay oan the flair- Then, bounteous answer to his prayer Jist as he thocht, 'It looks fell dry.' Ae body couped some wine forbye. Wee moosie stoated up the aisle Wearin sic a boozy smile The folk stopped singin', fair aghast Tae see a drunken moose walk past. The organist fell aff his chair, The meenister could only stare Tae see this drunken, sinfu' moose Cavortin' in his sacred hoose. At last it staggered up the nave Then turned and gied a happy wave "I ken noo when its time to pray I'll do it on communion day." Emma :-D

	That needs translating for me, Emma. Something about a relationship between a man called Ken and a moose? :-S :-S Seriously, lovely ode. Though I would be as shocked as the mean mister to see any creature drunk in my kirk :-D :-D ;-)
