The Naming of Steven

It happened that one day Steven was walking the streets of Dublin contemplating the importance of the trinity: The Virgin, the Mother, the Hag; the Breasts and the Womb; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; Jimi, Janis, and Jim when four young boys lost their soccer ball that it did land at the feet of Steven.

"The ball!" they cried, "mister, the ball!"

Steven did pick it up and give it a mighty hero punt that it did sail far over the heads of the four boys and if it landed it was not soon.

"Shit!" said the first boy.

"Shit!" said the second boy.

"Shit!" said the third boy.

The fourth boy, knowing the importance of the trinity, kept his shit to himself and that is how it was that he came to be called Steven of the Three Shits.
