Father Charles

(spoken word interview style)

Yes, well

We adopted the boys some time in late spring

I remember the wisteria was just beginning to bud, and

They were in terrible debt at the time

I believe a few of them were in some legal trouble, regarding shoplifting allegations

Falsely of course

Yes, we set up some camp beds at the back of the rectory

Oh, they didn't need much, no no no

Plenty of blankets

Their dietary needs were simple

A Lucozade Sport in the morning

A Pepperami on the pillow in the evening

Their commitment to the parish was wonderful

I mean, I can still see how their eyes lit up when they were asked if they could run the tombola at the fête

Their true value to the parish um, though

Was their charming falsettos

I mean they're not small boys, by any means, um

But when they sang

Doves did cry

Doves did cry

Doves did cry

Doves did cry
