Franchise

God franchised Catholicism
made Rome the head office.
Then he employed waiters &
no. no waitresses because he
said they can’t keep secrets.

It was better than McDonald’s,
no kitchens just a bit of wafer
and only once a week at that.
Anyone that didn’t toe the line
was sacked, like St Christop’her.

According to rumours he was a
cross dresser, that he used hang
out with traveling people, tinkers
from Ireland and St Brendan who
turned holy water into Potcheen.

          to metal, rubber bushings
          became fashionable, it even
