Gaza and the pope
Gaza and the pope
The pope who died was known to cry
when told of the horror in Gaza
he sent Israel a mild-mannered rebuke
When the pope was young, he rode
a big motorbike in Buenos Aires
persistent rumor tells he did more riding
The question hangs in the air
has he got a son?
If so, was his mother a prostitute he
had tried to lead away from sin
To make matters worse, was she a Jewish
Was the rumor, even as baseless
hanging there, hindering the pope
to speak out against the horror in Gaza?
