Our Lord of Christ Computer
xAnswers all to those who ask
And offers Priests to teach and tutor,
xOthers who need more time in task.
xxBy inputting their deepest dreams,
The supplicants leave little to speculation.
xxThis machine outputs in digital stream,
xnxA flowing language of basic revelation.

-December 2013
