THE POPE IN BRAZIL

So much for church /state separation:
Pope Benedict's gone to Brazil
To offer Lula consultation
On vetoing a public bill
That would decide to give no quarter
To an unwanted bed-and-boarder;
Or if a woman goes to jail
For treating it as if junk mail.
But Benedict's the Archie Bunker
Of Holy Roman Catholic popes-
The summum bonum of all dopes.
With arguments that prove a junker,
He claims to speak the mind of God.
Apparently, He's not abroad.
