I asked the Pope of my religion
by email, text, and postal pigeon
Pope: will you call out as a crime
these so called poems that don't rhyme
oh sure, a rose is still a rose
but surely these, at best, are prose?
more likely, random word collections
vying in vain for our affections
the Pope soon answered me, as follows:
though gift-less, not for them our gallows
to err is human, to forgive divine
though I suppose I could support a fine
