A Proper Measure Has Four Beats
What does a nice Jewish boy do when his wife takes him to Easter services? He writes a filk during the sermon!
lyrics © 2001 by Dr. H. Paul Shuch
sung to the tune of "Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott" (Martin Luther, ca. 1527-1529)

A proper measure has four beats.
With any less it's incomplete.
All signatures in common time,
In key of C with dubious rhyme.

A proper Lutheran hymn
Must heed these rules within.
All else would be a sin.
Thus God commanded to mankind.
