THE POPE SAYS NOPE -- MASS COMMUNICATION

Hope springs eternal in the human breast

So says the great Alexander Pope

But when it comes to reproductive rights,

Nothing has changed; the Pope says nope

He spreads the word across the land

He praises God he gives them hope

He knows the flock will understand

But birth control he answers nope

Bedecked in white he stirs the crowd

He offers them a way to cope

A brand new church will be endowed

But family planning he says nope

In Cuba it’s a real tough sell

They’re Godless Commies, in the dark they grope

The teeming hordes they still fear Hell

But IUD’s he answers nope

His visit to this land of ours

May turn to be a slippery slope

Since Roe v. Wade we’ve had the right

How can he possibly say nope?

This wily Father sees a chance

He knows Planned Parenthood’s on the rope

When Roe v. Wade falls after that

To rights for women he’ll say nope

If Alexander Pope were here he’d have a pithy thing to say

About the Church hypocrisy. It probably would go this way.

Of Gods and men the Bible was quite clear

There’s one eternal force there is no peer

It matters not specific circumstances

The name they use is Yahweh not Pope Francis
