Fist Full of Pope

This one's a little weird and possibly offensive. Well, maybe.

Fist full of pope swings slings and rope

He'll slap your a*s around 

He drive's Da Vinci's Ministry

When he throws down in town

Drinking gin and Jesus juice 

He rides a wood commode 

Got penance for parishioners 

Jujitsu choking hold 

Fist full of pope he drops the soap 

then knocks you to the mat

He'll crush you with his crucifix

He's reformation phat

He's rolling up the pope mobile

He's got the rag top down 

He's selling off the silverware 

at six pence for a pound 

Fist full of pope swing from his rope 

Confessions with a noose 

Catholicism's vengeance man 

Saint Vitus on the loose 

He's got torpedoes in his tubes 

He's buck shot barrel full 

His howitzer is homing in 

He's bare brass knuckles full 

Fist full of pope there is no hope 

He's got your final ride

Breaking out with barrels blazing 

He's gonna have your hide

Fist full of pope

found it fascinating actually - and very humorous with a great bite. I have to admit I misread it and at first glance saw "Fist full of poop" - shows you where my brain is I guess. Like so many of your poems - the wit hides a greater truth. Well done.

Offensive shemnsive! This one is awesome!! Funny to me anyways.

I like the artwork and direct language. I have a real catholic wife. I have to be polite about the pope. A very entertaining poem.

Pope Francis is okay. Fist full of pope isn't about him. It's just some crazy s**t I made up. It was inspired by the latest Godzilla movie. I had seen it that day at the dollar movies. I'm not paying ten bucks for a Goddamn movie.

Well, you can't get much more Catholic than me, and I am not offended - though I agree that this one is a bit weird. Entertaining, though! :)

For such an influential figure, the corruption is astounding - in many, many ways....still, most influential figures are corrupt and negative energy and humanity feeds their ego and lick their soles...why? Liked this x

Thank you Ruth

It doesn't have as much "flow" as it could ;-) It was a little herky-jerky, even for you. I screamed it in my head (which I usually do with your pieces *laugh*) and I got the general idea (I think) but I had to stop myself from rapping it xD At one point I thought organized religion was bad, then I got the feeling it was okay...not sure what's going on here...lemme read it again...

Okay. Six pence? Six pennies (in American) for a pound...does that mean a pound as in weight or a pound as in English money...if the latter, why English money in this poem? Six pence for a pound (English money) sounds like Obamanomics xD Six pence for a pound of beef is a good deal ;-)

This doesn't sound like you've been playing in the medicine cabinet as much as it sounds like you're at your rope's end with religion (p.s. the best use of "The Pope" in modern culture is Black Sabbath circa 1971 "...Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope, do you think he's a fool...?") Basically, what you're feeling isn't new ;-)

Nice work, though. Work on that flow.

Thank you Kimmer. It's good to hear from you.

[KAOlmsted]

My pleasure. Did you hear me?

nah this poems dope, loved it and so true, last I read that guy was selling off the silverware for real, giving his brother all kinds of power he didn't need to have, Its sad that the representatives representin' isn't what they represent. The pope is embarrassing his flock, the presidents are hand puppets, the people have no real representation and they all just hatin', no taxation without representation, time for another tea party lol, love the mad hatter!

As sacrilegious of me it is to say this, I've always found dogmas to be hilarious, if not frustrating, especially when others believe their dogma applies to those who don't believe in it as well. Sadly, I fail to grasp a few of your references since I have not been raised a Catholic nor do I have any knowledge of its rituals or beliefs (besides the basics), but I still found this piece quite hilarious. Well done!

Thanks Tai

Generally I don't get involved in religion or politics. Between them they are the cause of all wars on the planet.
This was amusing though.
Well done pal.
