A tale of four Marys

Four Marys stood at the cross.

Three Marys went to the tomb.

Two Marys held Jesus' feet 

And the other Mary's husband, Cl(e)opas said "we're going home."

And Mary said, "but he's alive."

And Cleopas said, "we're going home."

And Mary said, "But Mary Magdalene said..." 

And Cleopas said, "we're going home."

And Mary said, "but I saw..." 

And Cleopas got his cloak.

So they set out for Emmaus.

But there was a third who walked with them,

And he broke bread.

And disappeared.

And Mary said, "Didn't I tell you?"

And Cleopas said, "Let's go back to Jerusalem. And tell them the wonderful thing I've seen."
