Cthulhu At The Vatican: A Poem

Cthulhu At The Vatican: A Poem


One fine night on the Tiber
a man drank sweet apple cider
when suddenly from the river's depth
rose a monster causing him to say "What the heck!"
The creature had an octopus head
causing the man to drop his bread
It had webbed human looking arms and legs
Said the man, "I better get to Meg's!"
An Italian bistro just down the street
The creature had snake like bunions on its feet
It stood hundreds of meters tall
and soon approached the Vatican wall
as Pope Francis lectured Trump on lack of charity
in the midst of much Curial hilarity
The creature had huge dragon like wings on its back
and gave some Vatican Swiss Guards the permanent sack
although it had no authority to do so
but what the heck, it made a fine YouTube show
as the post went viral with epic flow





The creature went into the finely wrapped box marked Pope Francis' God of Surprises
and threw out the flowers there- Mother Earth's irises
It then sat in the box
quiet like a hunted fox
waiting for its unveiling
causing Cardinals to hit the railing
when bursting forth like a jack in the box
it would resemble Baphomet's unwashed socks
The final document of the Synod on The Family
would add to that dreaded abode of the damned-ly.
