[Royston Vasey]

One Foot Beyond

Perhaps a younger pontiff, one
Who's not for God too soon,
Might stand a chance of getting done
Some work before he's hewn;

Else why not have the Eastern Pope
As Boss-Man in the West? -
The Schism solved may signal hope
That clergymen know best.

I guess the Roman Catholic Church
Will act as it sees fit
(You'd think another Borgian lurch
Should bring some spunk with it).
