A Papal Bull and a Burning Bush
Posted: April 20, 2008
A humorous look at Pope Benedict's U.S. visit…
The Pope and President shook hands.
Each winked to hint he understands
what it is like to be in charge
of those who think you're wrong.
This top dog and this lame duck talked
while on an early morning walk.
Both men ignored their critics' claims
that they are out of step.
"I'd love to ride a Papal Bull.
The thought (says George) just makes me drool.
In Crawford we have many bulls
but not the Vati-kind."
"A burning bush I'd like to see
while here in Washington, D.C."
"Well, you're in luck," said George to Ben.
"The press sets me ablaze."
And so a walk proved so much more.
A budding friendship is in store
for these two guys who humbly lead
a Nation and a Church.
