It's the New Year
Pope Francis is still yakking
about the world's ills
and that we have
a "responsibility" to work towards
a worldwide
"community of brothers"
(and knowing him
probably sisters too)
who accept
each other's "diversity"
and "take care
of one another".
So this poet will
get off her
irresponsible
liberal duff
reach across the aisle
and wish Barbara Bush
a speedy recovery
who also said
"You get nothing done
if you don't listen to each other."
