Jack Horne Poet Terza Rima

Some Quirky Tercets

The nun is taking coke,

the pope is getting mad -

he told her not to choke.



Her habit's getting bad;

her doctor's even worse,

but drinking makes him sad.



He sped off in a hearse

and gambled quite a lot,

then stole a robber's purse.



Today is very hot,

the judge is getting tired -

he smoked a ton of pot.



I hear they're getting fired...



(Will get round to returning comments tomorrow)
just some nonsense for Nina's quirky tercets contest, written 8th April
