Thread: That's not my bishop - his tat is too lacy

Some of you may be familiar with this series of books for small children. In the series a mouse searching for his pets rejects a number of animals before finally coming across the right one.
I'm sure all of us here on the Circus could propose new subjects for the series. The format is the first person announces a subject using the formula:
That's not my A - his/her/its B is too C.
The next four people repeat the formula and then the sixth poster concludes the book by discovering the right thing: That's my A! - his/her/its B is so C.
For example, if the subject is bishops, they might finish
6. That's my bishop! - his public pronouncements are so thoughtless.
So:
1. That's not my bishop - his tat is too lacy.

Sorry: I didn't make the rules clear.
Items 1 to 5 will all start:
'That's not my bishop - his ... is too ...'
Item 6 will start:
That's my bishop - his ... is so ...'
And then we go back to 1 with
That's not my church - its smell is too funny.'
And so on for churches. Clear as mud?

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.
