The President, Our Secular Lords, a Bishop,
an Electronic Rosary, and a Drowning Bee
A Meditation While Walking on a Chilly Autumn Day
The President – he flails his mouth about
And like a 16-year-old in pigtails screams
His daily hatreds on the GossipNet
While his madcappers pump their plumpish fists
Our secular lords investigate each other
Enthroned like pale Inquisitors of old
Arrayed in outrage and well-tailored suits
And not averse (perhaps) to Ukrainian gold
His Grace the Bishop likes to buy nice things
The evangelium of the nicer shops
Each with a most discreet and helpful staff
While we confess environmental sins
The Vatican touts an electric Rosary 1
While with my stick I save a drowning bee

“The bluetooth and water-resistant digital rosary is currently available for pre-order sale on Amazon.it for 99 euros, roughly $109. It is sold by “Click to Pray” -- an initiative of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.”
Even Chaucer’s Pardoner might find this a bit much.
