On duty

Father O’Riely and father

Father O’Brien,

would you like some of this nice juicy steak I’m cooking on the

bar-b-que?

O no thank father O’Riely, I’m on duty this after noon.

What with mass and all, I’ve got to fast from eating meat.

Pass me over a bit of that letters and some bean sprouts, I’ll have to make do with that.

But you can save me a piece for after mass if you like!
