I recently submitted my song "Trinity," which I wrote about three years ago, to Contata to be included in their songbook. It's based on Lois McMaster Bujold's novel The Curse of Chalion and sung to the tune of "Yesterday":
Trinity
Sainthood's not what it's cracked up to be
Thought I'd save Iselle and then be free
But the Lady had some plans for me
Suddenly
I am thrice the man I used to be
Have a demon and a ghost to tea
Now I believe theology
Why She holds Dondo I don't know but it's to be
Tried to die a champ, now I'm cramped with trinity
Trinity
Sainthood's not what it's cracked up to be
Thought I'd save Iselle and then be free
But the Lady has more plans for me
(Closing hum should be groaned while holding one's stomach)
