Many years ago Amy wrote a poem that I entitled Desperate for a Rhyme:
"God made
Many things there is.
People made
Bubbly fizz."
Emily and I like to brainstorm about hymns we know with questionable lyrics that can be taken more than one way. She thinks the authors were desperate for a rhyme. I think they just had trouble with pronouns. Such as:
"I will call upon the one whom the wind and waves command."
"Sin and death his kingdom shall destroy."
"Twas Gabriel first that did proclaim to his most blessed mother. . ."
Or maybe we're just weird, or we had a bit too much (non-alcoholic) bubbly fizz.

Emily, now I REALLY want to know what you said! Pauline
