It is confusing in St Peter’s
Square of the high chimney
*** news when a Pope dies
in Spring and the crows are
nesting in the stack. With a
selection made, and smoke
fills the chambers Cardinals
can be heard swearing to an
Almighty God as they shove
drain rods up the metal pipe
to try dislodging a blockage.
Then, to their complete and
utter surprise, the faithful in
unison shouts abuse calling
for a recount after the raven
rises up. The 1st black Pope.
