Father Ted, Mrs Doyle, Father Dougal and Father Jack Discussing Ecumenical Matters

Introduction

This is for The A-Z of Unusual Words (Part E) Challenge By Penny Fuller which you can check out here:

This si a word that I have never used in earnest, but I remember an episode of Father Ted where they try to get Father Jack to use the word, to hilarious (in my opinion) effect. I hope that you can watch the video, it's only two minutes.

Although brought up as a Roman Catholic, I have no time for religion, or ecumenical matters today, but that is another discussion.

I know this is a short reason, but "Father Ted" is one of the most perfect comedy series ever and that word has stuck with me, so here is a short poem for you.

It is fairly free-form but has a set number of syllables per line and the lines all roughly rhyme.

Teaching Father Jack "Ecumenical"

That Situation Is Just Comical

To Illuminate Matters Clerical

And Discuss Some Religion And Morals

Crediting God For What's Insoluble

Dressing In Fancy Robes Impeccable

Jack Would Rather Drink Gin From A Bottle

Than Learn That Cursed Word "Ecumenical"
