     First, His Holiness shrugged off his mantle,
     Then informalized his Twitter handle.
     Geezers gushed, ‘The new norm!
     Let “Reform of Reform”
     Be reformed!’ (For ‘reform’, read dismantle.)

       That pastured old prelate, Mahoney
       Found B16′s petra too stony
       “But this Francis – soft ‘c’
       Will be different, you’ll see
       He’ll mold the old ways like baloney!”

     …Who did not stand upon ceremony.
     From a card’nal, he plucked
     A red feather, and stuck’t
     In his miter, and said, ‘Macaroni.’

   Cardinal Burke is as straight as an arrow —
   As a canonist, focused and narrow —
   But note: He has the daring
   To go about wearing
   A pre-Paolo Sesto galero.
