UU Poem

Another parody to Meredith Brook's song "B***h." Probably funnier to fellow Unitarian Universalists, especially those that go to congregations like mine.

Wrote this again for the song parody contest my friend sent me the information to.  It had started out as a song about a stereotyped Dark, Brooding, Evil Witch but turned into a song about a UU being quite a step from normal.  Someone who defies predetermined roles and who doesn't fit any creed--who's interested in everything and whose beliefs are not limited or expected to remain stagnant.

I curse the world each day;
Can be cruel to me,
I know I’m not deranged.
Tried to tell you
But you looked at me like maybe
I'm a Christian under creed:
Innocent and sweet.
Yesterday I sighed;
Must have been relieved to see
The human side.
I can recognize that you would be unused
And utterly confused:
I'm a little into everything
Found under the sun.

 

I'm a witch, under cover.
I'm a child, love my mother.
I'm a sinner, studied saints:
I have not been well trained.
I'm in hell, changed your dream;
With knowledge in between.
You know you wouldn’t want me any other way.

 

So take me as I am.
It may seem
That you’d be more pleased if you ran.
Rest assured that
When I start to drive you crazy
And I’m debating each thing,
Tomorrow I will change
And today’s a song to sing.

 

I'm a witch, under cover.
I'm a child, love my mother.
I'm a sinner, studied saints:
I have not been well trained.
I'm in hell, changed your dream;
With knowledge in between.
You know you wouldn’t want me any other way.

 

Just when you think, you have me all pinned out
My belief’s already changing.
As a rule, you do what you do
And don't try to save me.

 

I'm a witch, under cover.
I'm a child, love my mother.
I'm a sinner, studied saints:
I have not been well trained.
I'm in hell, changed your dream;
With knowledge in between.
You know you wouldn’t want me any other way.

 

I'm a witch, if I please.
I'm a goddess who loves trees.
When you hurt, as you suffer
I'm your Buddha and your lover.
I've been dumb, I'm ascribed;
Can’t say when I’ll arrive:
You know I wouldn't want it any other way.
