Naofa Deatach! [Luimneach Thriarach]
Holy smoke! We’ve a Pope! Triple Limerick.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, knock me down with a feather!
There’s been a grand change in the weather,
Maga snowflakes are wilting,
God’s light’s unrelenting,
Now the Orange one’s all in a lather.
There’s a saying, cold hands and warm hearts,
Do Don’s tiny hands hold big parts?
Has he been a - messin’
Where he shouldn’t a - been messin’?
Best confess, Don, and beg Leo’s blessing!
Yes, bless you, Pope Leo the Fourteenth,
The fascists are venting their spleen,
Snowflakes are in meltdown,
That a Marxist’s been crowned,
Poor Don wears a frown, he’s a has-been.

I've used writing a Limerick as an opportunity to practice my Irish (Gaelic). As far as I know, there's no evidence that the form originated in Limerick; but it has been proposed that the name came about as a result of the Irish tradition of story-telling.
I've always maintained that the essence of Jesus' message was socialism...wonder of wonders, at last, a socialist Pope, who can get the bigots' backs up!😊
