Why The Pope’s Incredibly Abrupt Departure Is Unsettling

What causes many Catholics

Around the world so much worry

Is that it smacks of, “Here’s

Your mitre --- what’s your hurry?”

Political Bumper Stickers I’d Like To See

So far this is the only one I’ve got ---

I’M A WHITE RACIST AND I VOT.

How could I have been so wrong?

I’m in need of a little consoling ---

(My researcher was also in charge

Of Mitt Romney’s internal polling.)

Vatican Dismisses Gay Conclave Report

My guess is that this claim may be just a bit

Inaccurate & I would prefer to dub

The group as more like the Pope’s version of

The He-Man Woman Haters Club.

Two Poems In Honor Of Hollywood & The 2013 Academy Awards

1.

Fallout From Ben Affleck Not Receiving

A Directing Nomination For “Argo”

He’ll get that Oscar down the road

As a gimme --- really.

Even if he decides to take the helm

On a sequel to “Gigli.”

2.

How Melissa McCarthy Should Respond To Rex

Reed’s Nasty Comments About Her Weight

Take him out to some old school L.A. restaurant after sending

An invite that’s a handwritten note:

Be very demure but then (like she often did in “Identity Thief”)

Suddenly punch him in the throat.

Ranger 8 --- 48 Years Ago Today

Used in an unmanned 1965 mission, it took

Over 7,000 photographs and

After transmitting them, it then crashed into

The moon as had been planned.

At least that’s what NASA told us --- I have

Been doing a little thinking

And wonder (although I lack any proof) if the

Spacecraft had been drinking.

Director, Stars Of “Silver Linings Playbook” Will Reunite For Abscam Movie

My favorite scoundrel in that undercover sting

Was Florida Congressman Richard Kelly.

He took 25 grand. His behavior showed he had

The guile but not the skill of Machiavelli.

This emerged especially when he insisted that

What was going on in this whole situation

Wasn’t what it looked like --- he was actually

Conducting his own undercover operation.

Caught on tape stuffing money into his pockets

Kelly asked, “Does it show?” That

Revealed how crooked Eighties politicians said,

“Does this bribe make me look fat?”
