Make Thee Another Self

 

Cf. Shakespeare, Sonnet 10

 

I thought I heard you saying it was a pity...I never had any children. But you're wrong. I have. Thousands of them. Thousands of them...and all boys.

 

-Mr. Chips in Goodbye, Mr. Chips

 

After the Order of Saint Joseph, all men are fathers

Commanded by God to protect all children

Permitted by God to protect all children

Empowered by God to protect all children

 

After the Order of Saint Joseph, all men are teachers

With fishin’ rod and book and whittlin’ knife

With garden and plow and fixing what needs to be fixed

With clean and manly speech, example, and work

 

All men have children, thousands of them, because

After the Order of Saint Joseph, all men are fathers
