Aquinas for Dinner

 

Aquinas to wine us, dine us

Over hot pasta and pesto

And sauces made ex nihilo.

Aquinas to wine us, dine us

 

Over hot pasta and pesto.

We’ll speak of high flying saucers;

Little green men with rocket launchers;

Over hot pasta and pesto.

 

We’ll speak of high flying saucers

As tracked by modern militias.

They don’t seem to be so vicious.

We’ll speak of high flying saucers

 

As tracked by modern militias:

Real people of self-invention,

Dulled by self-imposed prison.

As tracked by modern militias,

 

Real people of self-invention,

Doubt objective moral values

And miss the beauty birthed in truths.

Real people of self-invention

 

Doubt objective moral values

Based on feelings and not thought

And so a fine thinker we sought.

Doubt objective moral values?

 

Aquinas to wine us, dine us

Over hot pasta and pesto

And sauces made ex nihilo.

Aquinas to wine us, dine us!
