There are too many syllables in that final part, aren't there? There can't be more than 11, if we stick with the meter of the original:
Jesus loves the little children in the world
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Ah, folks! He's hooked.
He sees that he can salt more import into three poetic words (See Ogden Nash's citation)
than from thirty strainings of prosaic pickel barrel brines

Kudos! I like that new form especially well!
See, the neat thing about this work: the scale is small.
The knotty problems always solve themselves in a bit of time.
It beats crossword puzzles a mile.
It's a lot of fun and it's great mental training.
I never wrote a thing before two years ago.
I wasted all my youth in whoring.
All I have to show for that is a wringer washer in the hallway
and a wife who takes in washing.
Poetry is my temporary-time's peek into pre-heaven,
where and when I'll surely write a golden word
or not.

Sorry, didn't realise we were doing that. I see. I'll have a look at the link, I have forgotten the original.

You're choosing a narrower lane for a rather arcane reason.
The poem can be just as biblical, without slaving to copy the Master's style.
If the content, if the message alone, does not hark to Bible scholars
your source of inspiration, well,
copying the metric style, in any result, is seen as a sort of gimmick here;
and given the -necessarily nasty form-, copying any aspect of the Biblical
style, is actually unChristian (if you think about it), because it is lampoonery.
Don't go that way or you'll look like me.
God forbid!

Tsk, tsk. Not only are we a little touchy about our spelling errors but it seems we are also given to the derivative lifting of other works.
I suspect Clare H. Woolston might have a good go at you in court if still alive.

But since C Herbet Woolston died in 1927, his rhyme is now in the public domain. Apart from that, if you go back to where Brother Zeke started these little rhymes, we have acknowledged all along that we were rewriting his work. That would be legit even if he were alive -- as long as we make it plain what we are doing, and do not try to gain financially from it, no one is going to do take us to court.
You see it is doubtful whether a rhyme pattern can be copyrighted anyway. It could be arrived at independently, could it not? Especially a simple one.
And there is a lot more to it than that too -- we are parodying his song, so our new work is not derivative, but a work of art in its own right with its own message.
I'll leave it at that for now. It becomes very complicated. Suffice it to say that you are trying to teach your grandmother how to suck eggs.

Father,
Read it and leap
Read it and leap
Read it and leap

Read it and leap
oh read it and leap
Wise up take
a leap in the Lake

Note my use of the word potential. This was a specific choice with the intent of obviating the common point of public domain regarding the work in question. The idea being there is little originality to be found in the exercise and the likelihood of original prose coming from a gang of disgruntled Baptists, jealous of the Catholic Church and it's rich tradition of art, is slimmer than Karen Carpenter after a last visit to her vomitorium.
Bless you, my future defendant

You haven't read much of the thread have you?
Do you think that this has potential? It's not good I know, but with work could be improved:
THE VIOLATION OF THE ALTAR BOYS (A work in progress)
Father Mo was perspiring and his eyes were a gleam
His trousers were bulging fit to burst at the seam
The glow in his eyes was like a wolf's on the prowl
And he threw back his head and let out a great howl
For the altar boys' picnic was soon to take place
And Maurice was afire with the thrill of the chase
There'd be boys of all sizes: big thin fat and small
And Mo was determined to bugger them all
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

happy
to contribute wooly content
only when it's wholly Sunday;
stuffings for the Father's cassock;
it's known he makes a right-fine hassock

Start with the 'select all' and follow with 'delete'...or perhaps a few key word changes...allow me to suggest some.
THE VIOLATION OF THE WOOLY BOYS (A work in progress)
Crusty Eno was perspiring and his eyes were a gleam
His trousers were bulging fit to burst at the seam
The glow in his eyes was like a wolf's on the prowl
And he threw back his head and let out a great howl
For the ram and ewe picnic was soon to take place
Enorbarbus was afire with the thrill of the chase
There'd be sheep of all sizes: big thin fat and small
Eno was determined to bugger them all.
Bless you, my abuser of virgin wool

Father, this is Tailor Pee-Wee

Raveled? It is not.
Once a thread begins a run

you show the whole
poet you are not, not yet.
So Keep On Plugging always
in the decent way
of course.

Now that definitely is copyright infringment and plagiarism -- you have lifted most of my words verbatim. My lawyer says you are certainly guilty but is suggesting we wait a few months so I am in a better position to prove loss of earnings and go for a bigger claim. I'll get back to you about this if you don't hear from my lawyer personally.

you can bet your bottom buck,
that I was a vara
