So Wrong about Thomas Merton’s Death

To the tune of Patsy Cline’s “So Wrong.”

We’ve been so wrong
For so long;
So many have lied
About how Merton died,
We were wrong.

We’ve been so wrong
For so long.
How could we guess
That they’d fool us like this?
We were wrong.

No shower-wet hand
Ever touched a bad fan.
That was just a ruse.
What Merton got
Was the fruit of a plot.
You must know whose.

We were so wrong
For so long;
Now we’ve seen the light,
And we must make it right.
We were wrong.

No shower-wet hand
Ever touched a bad fan.
That was just a ruse.
What Merton got
Was the fruit of a plot.
You must know whose.

We were so wrong
For so long;
Now we’ve seen the light,
And we must make it right.
We were wrong.
