                               Little Papal Flags at the Eucharist

Little cardboard boxes at the ends of the pews
Held little Papal flags in white and gold
For the faithful disabled, an usher explained
To request a eucharistic minister going their way

How useful in several ways is this little toy:
I’d wave it in defiance of the House of Savoy
NB: “the faithful disabled” is a play on the prayers for the faithful departed, and “going their way” is a little fun with Bing Crosby’s charming film Going My way.

The stipulated use of little flags in a large congregation is most appropriate.

The Savoys are a lot of useless parasites and Mussolini ***-kissers with no sense of duty, honor, service, or humility, those reliable markers of true royalty.
