WHAT THE ARCHBISHOP SAID

(To all those who live in the United States)

I speak off the cuff

It was a touching copy

The Vatican said so

And the White House confirmed it

Archbishop Broglio voiced it

That was in his homily

During the high mass

Said in Uncle Sam`s country

In honour of the beatification of Paul the Sixth

The pontiff who succeeded John the Twenty Third

Did The Lord not say I`ve called you by your name?

It was therefore a shock

When the great clock stopped ticking.
