For All the Saints by Jeff “Dr Chordate” Moran

For all the saints, from Abadir to Zita,
Including Michael, Nicholas, and Rita.
We sing this hymn from mountains to the prairies.
Bless us, we pray, O Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Agatha and Agnes, Albert and Ambrisi,
Andrew, Angela, Francis of Assisi,
Augustine and Bartholomew,
Barnabus and Benedictine, too.

Beatrice, Bernard, Bonaventure, Bond,
Nine Bonifaces, Boswell, Brandan, Brendan,
Brian, Briarch, Brigid, Brethwald, Brito, Britwin,
Brogan, Bruno, Burkard, Byblig.

Cadoc, Cadog, Cadwallader, Caimin,
Calliope, Camilla, Candida,
Carpus and Castor, thirteen Catherines,
Celestine and Charles the Good.

Nine other Charles, Christopher and Cissa,
Claud, Claudianus, Claudius, Claudine,
Popes named Clement, numbers one through six,
Cleopatra (not that Cleo)

For all the saints, I think you get the point.
Seven thousand so far have been anoint.
For more verses, that’s up to you.
Alleluia! Allelu!
