I've Never Seen a Purple Cow...or Bishop

Today, I subject you to my witty, humorous "poetry" .   Without apology.   :-)

We haven’t got a bishop now;

How long before we’ll see one?

Well, I can tell you anyhow,

We hope that soon there’ll be one.

I always thought a bishop would

Adhere to Church law fully.

But now I know a bishop could

Be just a mean ol’ bully.

Ours doesn’t seem to follow rules

Or do what Canon Law says.

He seems to think that we’re all fools

Who can’t see his faux pas-es.

He persecutes the priests who care

And tells us they’re “divisive”.

He acts in many ways unfair.

His comments are derisive.

His tongue has got a silver hue;

He’s selling us the “soft soap”.

Unless Rome quickly gets a clue,

The faithful will have lost hope.

We haven’t got a bishop yet;

We don’t know when we’ll see one.

But when we do, we hope we get

A man who’ll truly be one.

Pray for the appointment of a new bishop!

Parting thought:

We’re gonna get a bishop soon,

If only Rome gets hopping.

But if he has a red balloon,

We’ll still need to go shopping.
