Let’s mix our metaphors again
Cardinals
shuffle in fast lane
Black smoke
from Sistine chapel rises …
Ballot
votes can bring surprises.
All under
eighty, 1-3-3
Scarlet-robed
play wait-and-see
But in a
mere two days ‘tis done
Robert Prevost
is the one!
Post
Francis no one had a clue
The winner spent
time in Peru
Appointed
to this sacred rank
We have
common sense to thank.
In Chicago born
and bred
Well-travelled,
Augustinian-led
As Leo XIV
he will reign
Bearing a
reforming name!
