Pope Speeding
 
  I live Down Under and report
that Benedikt, as last resort
was caught exceeding sixty-five
on Sydney's Sylvan Valley Drive.
A copper stopped the Popemobile
and noticed a Korean wheel.
'I did expect you to admire
if ever you would need a tyre
to pick a Continental brand
it comes straight from the Fatherland.'
The copper, Aussie, unimpressed,
took out the pen from his blue vest
and started writing a big fine
when Benedikt yelled 'Aussie Swine,
you haff no rright to chudge ze Pope
I vill report you, man off dope! '
Well, in the end Pope Benedikt
was happy when the copper licked
the boots that had withstood the war,
the copper though, said either or.

I can tell you from my own writings where I mention the Pope...I get very negative reviews, but not as bad as when I mention Mohammad. LOL
