gustave was a little grape
roland was a berry
they were bottled as fine wines
in the cellar of a monastery
inchbald was a pious monk
and said his prayers every hour
he was not a vegetable
but he might have been a flower
jezebel was a princess
who traveled through the hills
she had conquered paris and rome
but had not got her fill
otto was an emperor
on a golden throne
his cat declined to chase a mouse
so he threw his dog a bone
urban was a a pope so proud
on a marble balcony
he raised his hand to bless the crowd
and set all sinners free
ferdinand was a cardinal
in a silver chair
he thought he heard a whispered word
he looked - no one was there
>
barrabas was a beggar
sitting in the street
he cursed at every passerby
who stepped upon his feet
jack was a poor pilgrim
wandering through the snow
he had left the world behind
but still had far to go
