Parody for Fr. Daron's Last Sunday at St. James

| index |

Parody of "My Favorite Things," music by Richard Rodgers, original lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein III.

Insightful sermons about the Almighty,
millions he saved us with knowledge of I.T.,
livestreaming Easter from his living room--
these are some ways we'll recall Father Vroon.

How he sings plainchant, his high-reaching vocals,
how he has gone from Ray-Bans to bifocals,
incense so thick, he sets off the alarm --
these we'll remember as part of his charm.

Praying with pets who are howling and barking,
COVID communion to worshipers parking,
climbing the roof to turn on the a.c. --
these are the things we'll keep in memory.

James and Charlie,
"little" Isaac,
how we've seen you grow.

So Julie and Daron,
we're grateful for you.
God bless you where-e'er you go!
