Rico Leffanta Poet Rhyme

The Pope In Eire

The Pope came to Eire
And found millions there
But they did not care
For priests anywhere

He dealt with the nuns
And all of the puns
Regarding bare buns
And Irish squirt guns

But what of "The Church"
And those who besmirch
The rap of a birch
For those in the lurch?

The Pope says, "We're fine
And now toe the line
To forgive is divine…"
God damn filthy swine!

Jan Allison August 27, 2018 at 5:19 PM Bravo Rico, it really beggars belief that all they need to do is go to confession, say 3 hail Mary's get absolved for their 'sins' and then go on to commit abuse again and again - grrr at the church:-( hugs Jan xx Rico Leffanta September 4, 2018 at 5:13 PM The Pope's response is to be, "humble and silent" and to turn the other cheek, but did not state whether he meant the upper or lower cheek ……… Aloha! Rico Rico Leffanta August 27, 2018 at 5:31 PM Forgiveness may be "divine", but such appalling abuse of trust by priests, nuns, Donald Trump, - and USA Immigration putting kidnapped children in cages to be physically, mentally and sexually abused, defies any definition of "divine"! It won't be long before Oxford's removes "integrity" from the dictionary! Aloha! Rico
