Corporate-Speak Inquisitors Meet with the Faithful

 

They do not wear dark robes or sinister hoods

Nor even Roman collars with their Izod shirts

In fetching pastel shades of harmlessness

They rule with legal pads and plastic pens

 

They question us about our parish and priest

And rattle the matter of closing the church

Though it’s difficult to take seriously pasty old men

Who seem to be a bench of Miss Marples

 

They do not wear dark robes or sinister hoods

But menace us with evasive can’ts and coulds
