Common Curia

Common Curia

It was the last day

In February

Of the year 2013

Which gave us worry.

Why depart

From Office before death?

It was not physical loss

But political breath.

In the 2005 election

Joseph always led.

Jorge always second.

Ballot 4 made Joseph head.

The Curia incensed,

Plotted to change course.

Aided by red hats

Moved with no remorse.

The losers finally won

When Joseph stepped down

Unable to calm insurrection,

Relinguished the papal crown.

The Iago-like process

Took 8 years to complete.

An un-godly subterfuge

The legitimate one they unseat.

+++

It was the

Eighth day in November

Of the Year 2016,

An election to remember.

The legitimate process

Rendered no win popular vote.

It was a college

The Constitution wrote.

Similar to the Roman,

The D.C. Curia incensed

At the unfit candidate

Plotted against.

The agitation seemed organized,

At least that was the rumor.

Certainly the attacks were politicized,

Perhaps by Senator Schumer.

But no!

Chuck’s activity too obvious.

The real source

Is silent and devious.

Who then rakes Executive-45?

Perhaps someone next door.

Someone who never left town.

Yes! Iago-44.

+++

It has been said

Common to Benedict

And Executive-45,

The same to undercut and interdict.

The one who wants to

Close the world’s door

To true liberalism and freedom,

Is the same Iago-44.
