   I’m Pope-eye the papal man
   I live in a Vati-can
   with a hole in the roof
   where the smoke goes poof
   I’m Pope-eye the papal man

   (with apologies to generations of skool kids, and watering cans with holes in the middle)

   richardelguru @ # 1 – Have you noticed that the signs of a certain fried-chicken franchise look like they actually read,

   POPE YES

   ?

   New pope.

   Church bells are ringing like crazy right now.

   OK, there’s a new pope. Nothing says they have to unlock the conclave doors, right? Seal ‘em in there–the loss of the Sistine would be a small price to pay.

   We have plenty of smoke to announce the new pope
   And some bells too, for those who are hearers.
   Still transparency seems to still be a big joke.
   No surprise that they left out the mirrors.

   As a parallel to Cuttlefish’s poem, I would like to put forth:

   WHITE
   MAKES
   RIGHT

   It works on many levels.
