Herr Jesus hat ein Gartchen

Last night I dreamed I was still at the Lunch Hour Concert, but instead of my mum I was sitting next to Jesus. He was humming along to Herr Jesus hat ein Gartchen.

You like this? I said.

Why wouldn't I? he asked. It's all about my garden.

You really have a garden? I asked.

No, he said. It's an allegorical garden.

What's in it? I asked.

Divers flowers, said Jesus.

What's that mean?

A lot of different flowers, he said. The Lily, representing Chastity; the Violet, representing Humanity.......

What? I said. The Violet represents Humanity? I don't think so.

I don't make these things up, said Jesus.
