a satire on the reporting style of independent newspapers with regard to pope john paul the second

the pope looked old

the pope looked very old

the pope looked very old and walked with a stick

the pope looked old very old walked with a stick and is going to die soon

soon the pope will die

the pope is reeeeeeeeeaaaalllly verrrrry old

soon he will be an ex pope

the pope is decaying

the pope is ancient

the pope is decrepit
bye bye popey bye bye
come on we're waiting

surely he'll be dead soon
he is soooooooooooooo realllllllllly verrrrrrrrrrrrry old

not like tony o'reilly

that gay young thruster

with his shock of golden hair

glinting in the sun
like a field of ripe corn

and his fascinating stories about rugby players

and his amazing stack of cash

and his beautiful plummy accent

and his school tie

and his newspaper group

and and and

loved by millions
