Pope on a rope... By Hexy 3/4/05

The Pope & I, we were great mates !
we often climbed at Mount Arapiles.
We chose The Dramp... I'm not sure why
It always troubles my mental-crap-police...

He led on-up, he climbed on-out...
& clipped that dodgy #4 Friend at the lip.
While under-clinging that 21 crux,
he took a nasty slip !!

Belaying from the bumper-guard
of his shiny Pope-mobill,
I watched in awe as his runners ripped
& he tumbled down that quartzite hill,
cursing the devil & the pill ...

His crucifix , it shonn so bright !
His white-robes covered in blood ...
" Damn you HEX !!! , must it end like this ?? "
as the amboz, copz & papparartzi arrive,
he quivered in the mud...
...whilst distant cattle chewed nonchalantly
on their rich-green-tasty crud ...

I glanced out left, across the plainz,
the falcons darting thru the eucalypts ...
I write this now,
I know itz ruff...
But it tickles my creative catalyst !
