Memepool pointed me to [a drinking song by Hilaire Belloc about the Pelagian Heresy -- a backlash against St Augustine. Digging deeper, I found a poem titled Jim Who Ran Away From His Nurse and was Eaten by a Lion, which was very reminiscent of Shel Silverstein.

I don’t think I’ve ever fit so many links so close together before. Thank god for Google and Blogger!
