THOSE HEARTLESS ANGLICANS

From CNN:


Police in Ireland are studying security camera footage from Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin after the preserved heart of the city's patron saint was stolen over the weekend. The 900-year-old heart of St. Laurence O'Toole was taken from the iron cage where it is normally kept. Adding to the mystery, there was no sign of a break-in. Nothing was taken from the chapel other than the heart although gold candesticks and other valuables were there.

The Cathedral is Anglican.

  7. There once was a saint called O’Toole
    Who in romance was nobody’s fool
    But he fell for the cleaner
    (As would you, if you’d seen ‘er)
    And she stole his heart, using a stool.

    Thank you KJ.
