How about St.Catherine, Patron Saint of Spinsters (not many of those on Gransnet, I imagine)
St.Catherine's chapel in Dorset is lovely, standing in isolation on a hillside,
and contains the following poem.-
A husband, St.Catherine,
A handsome one, St.Catherine,
A rich one, St.Catherine,
A nice one, St.Catherine.
And soon, St.Catherine.

How about St Uncumber? She's the patron saint of unhappy wives and will get rid of their husbands. I think she grew a beard overnight to repel her unwanted suitors. But I don't think she's a canonical saint.

As an exercise for my poetry group we are each going to write a poem that is loosely based on a particular saint. I have looked up saints and there are thousands. I did think of writing it about St Fiacre who is the patron saint of piles (!!) but would like to tackle one with a bit more charm/seriousness. For instance, St Kevin stood with his hand out and a bird made its nest in his hand - he stood there until the fledlings had hatched. One of our number has already used this idea.

Anyone have any good ideas?
