Tantum Ergo Makes Your Hair Grow John a Deruntz Jr

Religion sure is confusing to a twelve year old boy in Catholic school, having to cope with the Holy Trinity as well as an older sister and puberty. Singing in Catholic school is usually in Latin instead of English, so we never have any idea what we are singing about. The older kids laugh and say it' something dirty. How would we know? The worst I've ever done is to sing `Tantum ergo makes your hair grow, ' instead of the real words. Some people dance around a pole in other countries to celebrate May. But where I live and got to school, we have to march around in a procession and sing to the Blessed Virgin Mother, Mary, Queen of the May. Virgin is one of those words they use a lot in Catholic School, but never tell us kids what it means, just like the Immaculate Conception or the feast of the Circumcision.
