Interoffice Memorandum







How glad and very grateful we must be

The Lord cares not for high technology!

If you were out and down and you would hear:



“Your call is so important to us dear-

Should you be dialing from a rotary phone,

Then listen first to our signal tone-

You’ll hear a beep, and after it a string

Of harp, and then you’ll hear King David sing”

If you have any question or complaint

Press “Y” and then invoke your Patron Saint.

Complaints of graver kind we do assort

In order of precedence for the Lord.



“Thank you for calling our Father’s House!”-

The angels are now busy for they browse

And scan the prayers entered yesterday

While Michael, Prince, puts on his war array.

To fight the righteous fight against the foe,

His helmet gleaming bright upon his brow.

With pleasure has this angel prince discerned

There is question we have learned, yes learned!



For angel Gabriel please do wait a while

Just hold the line he’s reading in a file.

And Raphael that gathers herbs that heal

Has been invited by the Common Weal.

He is so very busy over there

To strengthen our friend, brave Tony Blair.

There is a meeting and a big debate,-

Your call is so important though, - please wait!

And angels bright and fair all bounce and leap

And somersault with pleasure at the beep.



For inquiries press “2” or “ABC”

(We monitor for poem quality!)

First hit the star key and then hit the #pound,

The menu will then yet again spin round.

For reservations press the star-- and enter “J O H N”!

His register can be depended on.

For any other spirit  registrar

Hit first the pound and after wards the star.



We close a little early though this weak

The Agents fly off to Mount Horeb’s peak,

Thus offices do close on Friday night

And at 5:30 we turn off the light.





The Lord is not high-tech, He oversees

All mankind’s prayers petitions, thanks and pleas

Alleluia, how thankful we must be

The Lord cares not for high-technology!
