Some say the pope’s bank has been laundering
While himself has been off abroad wandering
Bless the poor and the needy
Scratch the backs of the greedy
Where does it end, or does it, we’re all pondering?

Athletes from all round the commonwealth
Are concerned about the impact on their health
Of dirt and bed bugs
Not performance enhancing drugs
And what it might mean for their wealth

The PM is not as well paid
As some civil servants it’s said
But he’s no qualification
In leading a nation,
Lucky the mandarins aren’t so unread

Irish PM Cowen was under the weather
and just couldn't get it together.
When asked, "Are you drunk?"
He said, "I'm no monk,
I just had one pint and a blether."

There once was an old man from Rome
Who lived in his own sin-free zone.
With mass celebration
He preached to our nation -
Then after four days, he went home.
