Poems of the Week

Nope

by Thomas Germana

“‘I’d like to be pope,’ Trump told reporters outside the White House. ‘That would be my number one choice.’”
USA Today

He’d like to be pope, he (half-) jokingly said,
Appointed the pontiff in Francis’s stead.
Believing he’s holy, he’d have it arranged,
Ignoring of course that he’s wholly deranged.
