 There was no hope

   in empty sighs
    bright drafts of beer
    dirty wood stools 
    and bar 
   laughter
     Say don't I know you
     the horses aren't running no more
  too many put down
    now they bet on who will be Pope!
  Parish Hopper in the third?
  Nah, Fat and Shiny
Celibate my Ass! in the fourth
  Let's go or we'll be late
   But still no hope
  busted in Vatican pool rooms
   Swiss Guards lancing
   tequila drinkers
   Where can we get some tamales?
   for you I suggest Lichtenstein 
 Oh okay fuck you
  Cuckoo clocks 
In five hundred years
