Errors
ERRORS
Popes are infallible.
God inspired Pope Urban VIII to say that Galileo was in error.
The idea is infantile, unintelligible.
Either God was wrong, or Urb’s inspiration was not from God’s furor,
Or are Popes not infallible?
Gasoline is inflammable and volatile.
If we throw a match into the gastank this is an error.
The idea is unintelligible, infantile
Either the match is to blame, or the idea is somebody else’s terror,
Or is gasoline not inflammable and volatile?

NOTE
“Inflammable” is UK English for “flammable” in US English.
