Miko Kelly decided it was high time he went to confession.
After the usual beginning, Miko said: "I have to confess,
Father, that I stole a little lumber."
"Well, I'm sure there is more to this story," said Father O'
Brian. "Tell me now, what did you do with the lumber?"
"I built some birdhouses, Father," said Miko, softly.
Preparing to let Miko off lightly, Father O' Brian first
double-checked: "Is there anything more to this story?"
"Yes, Father, there is. I had a little lumber left over, so
I built myself a three-bedroom house."
"And then?" asked the priest.
"Well, Father, I still had some lumber on hand, so I built a
2-car garage onto the house."
"Miko, my boy, this is getting rather serious," said Father
O' Brian. "I think you will have to make a Novena."
"Well, Father O' Brian, if you got the blueprints... I got
the lumber!"
