"Quam quaeritis in seplche, O Christicolae?" * Ye Christian ladies rejoice with me And think of the solace we must be to Him As we celebrate His descent into Hell With a hot cross bun And His victory over death With a new hat. Let us today be doubly sure That our country's cause is just And that our hemlines are straight. Let us be strengthened by the fact That although our-nation-is-beset- With-serious-problems-at-home-and- Abroad, we did not eat untimely meat Or forbidden sweet and actually Lost several pounds during Lent. Let us resolve once more to leave The running of this world to men Who make it the rewarding and Well-organized existence that we know, Those of us at least who have deserved It so, who by our virtue Merit decent homes, hope for our children And a hat with paper flowers For our social call this Sunday On the risen Christ, The nice Christ. 1952
"Quam quaeritis in seplchre, O Christicolae?" Why do
you seek Him in the grave, O little Christian ladies?
