Pope Paul II (his real name Peter)
Was a gay fellow, or so it was said
Around the Vatican were repeated
Scurrilous rumours, by his rivals spread
God knows those holy types, like us were fed
By jealousy - human, all too human
When printing presses were wheeled in, this led
To those paid well for writing bull by hand
Sorry, bulls - papal bulls. Paul seemed to plan
Everything secretly, so to meet the
Pope was almost impossible; his red
Robed cardinals, they sought him here, there and
Everywhere. But he was fond of theatre
And to the horse racing in Rome he sped
