There Once Was a Pope from Nantucket

Adina challenged me to create a Pope limerick like hers.  I came up with these:

Pope Benny, elected from various
Catholic cardinals gregarious,
may be righteous and pious
with a conservative bias,
but the funniest pope was Hilarius.

None in the Church can be greater
than the pontiff, Sanctissimus Pater.
Dressed all in white,
for the holy and right,
the pope is the anti-Darth Vader.

Does the big number one theocratic in
the city-state known as the Vatican,
at the end of each day,
when he kneels down to pray,
have to take off his big funny hat again?

Okay, they’re not as political as Adina’s—but it’s hard to rhyme “Hitler youth”
