Gabriela Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Partes Vulpium Erunt and I have hatched a plan to have Phatmassers co-write a trad spoof of the Pirates of Penzance song "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General", inspired by Not the Philosopher's post of a youtube video, "I Am the Very Model of a Biblical Philologist". All we're giving you is the first line: I am the very model of a Tridentine enthusiast... When we're done, PVE will sing the song and we'll post it on youtube. (He's a great singer, so it's worth it.) Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartesVulpiumErunt Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Part of a verse so far . . . My closet's full of tweeds in front and ceremonial clothes in back/ My shelves are full of Chesterton and Fulton Sheen and Mosebach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I am the very model of a Tridentine enthusiast I much prefer consubstantialis to homoousious I live close to Missouri and know who the real St. Louis is I like to quote the PBC and obscure Roman dubias I made the Total Consecration as a hyperduliast (thinking...thinking...thinking...got it!) I await 3 days of darkness and a king like Alfonso of Asturias I am the very model of a Tridentine enthusiast! (Please give me back the last hour of my life...)

TheresaThoma Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Definitely needs to have something about chapel veils/mantillas/hats/scarves. Though I can't think of how to work that into a verse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Working on it.... My closet's full of tweeds in front and ceremonial clothes in back/ My shelves are full of Chesterton and Fulton Sheen and Mosebach I open doors for ladies wearing lacy black mantilla veils At the sight of lacy surplices I have never quailed (Not sure about this last bit) Another verse My parish priest, he faces east, not versus populum. He can recite from memory Summorum Pontificum. (C'mon people we just need a few more lines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Trying to figure out the phrasing of those lines is giving me a headache. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 The main issue we're running into is that not all of the lines run perfectly within the time beats. Several of them end one syllable too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulHeart Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Working on it.... My closet's full of tweeds in front and formal clothes in back My shelves are full of Chesterton and Sheen and Mosebach I open doors for ladies wearing black mantilla veils The sight of lacy surplices has never made me quail (Not sure about this last bit) Another verse My parish priest, he faces east, not versus populum. He can recite from memory Summ'um Pontificum. (C'mon people we just need a few more lines) I tried to edit what we have so far so that the meter is consistent. Does it work?
