Lush Mush

I have watched, only once, the video of the Priest with the face like an amiable rodent singing Leonard Cohen's song, which I understand to be accounted poetry by some. I even deigned to read the words.

I am fairly familiar with poetry, as with competent verse, and this is neither.

So why did that poor cleric decide to sing it?

Particularly unpleasant is the fourth stanza, in which the author seems to be complaining about his woman's no longer showing him "What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you?" Perhaps it's just as well.

The following lines: "And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah" are, in Church at any rate, indecent and, unless they were married,  immoral and blasphemous.

Sung, before, during, or after Mass by a Priest?

O tempora! O mores!
