A happy nun went for a run
And as she ran the song she sung
Was along the lines of music scales,
And on the go she said that Do,
The first note of the scale you know,
Was in fact a deer that was female!
And "Re" the sun, said this fun nun,
And "Mi" herself ,the nun did pun
Until she reached the note they say is Fa...
Enthusiastic she did shout
What this word was all about
Relating it to running very far!
When suddenly for all to see
A soldier fresh from the army
Stopped her in her tracks and said, "Now see!
FA means something else instead!
For in the army it is read
F for Field, A - Artillery!"
"Oh dear," said the nun for she
Had no idea that it could be
Used that way but not to be undone
She went upon her nunly way
And singing she began to say
That Fa was still a long long way to run!
When fresh from running his home run
A baseball player stopped the nun
And said while eating an appealing sandwich,
"You've got it wrong m'am for you see
FA in baseball only
Stands for Fielding followed by Average!"
"Hm..." she grumbled in mid run
But not to be undone or stunned
The nun went on face blushing in her wimple,
She sang her heart out to the clouds
Clearly, loudly, nunly proud!
Fa was Far as surely as her dimples!
Until the nun upon her run
Got tangled in a football scrum
The players citing loudly their translation,
They would risk facing damnation
To say that FA's denotation
Was F for football, A - Association!
After which the fiery nun
Said this was no longer fun
And cursed despite her virtuous career
And chose to binge on sticky buns
Which made all of the other nun's
Wonder what to do about Maria.
