'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [12/30]:
And a preacher arose! and began to propose
A new (unorthodox) mission,
Saying: "The guidance we need, whatever one's creed,
Is surely... Eurovision!"
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [11/30]:
Though they thought twice, and against stern advice,
For the cause of seeking pity,
People flooded the square, singing their prayer
Which filled the Eternal City.
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [10/30]:
Thus:
As certain doom was starting to loom
In its viral, pestilent form,
The Holy See became to be
More like a feverish swarm.
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [9/30]:
Meanwhile:
As some do opt when the world goes to pot,
Pilgrims followed 'the call'
As souls in search of hope from the Church
(Whilst also endangering us all!)
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [8/30]:
It's not "just a show" - it's MUCH more, you know:
It's unity;
It's beautiful;
It's camp!
Aren't you agreed it's the cure that we need
When life proves unbearably damp?
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [7/30]:
OK, if we ought, we'll stop playing sport;
We're prepared to forgo any pleasure.
Except THIS, please! WHATEVER disease,
Don't ask us to take such a measure!
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [6/30]:
If it weren't for the curfew, I'm sure
There would have been violent protest,
For what does one do unable to view
This much hallowed singing contest?
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [5/30]:
But! of course...
What sad people grieved, above all else conceived,
Was the tragic, inhuman decision
To lessen the worth of our lives on this earth
By cancelling... EUROVISION!
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [4/30]:
For now, what was fun, we needed to shun.
A hush soon befell everything
As fates were awaited by tender breathes bated
With no reason to laugh or to sing.
'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [3/30]:
Stock markets were low - loo rolls also,
Raided from shops across town,
Where urged not to meet the friends one would greet.
No wonder morale was down.

'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [2/30]:
While services coped, the rest simply hoped,
Unable to temper the beast;
Unable to earn; unable to learn.
Prosperity cautiously ceased.
#Poetry
Poem 1, 'When the Vatican Won Eurovision' [verse 1/30]:
A certain systemic, pesky pandemic
Once kept our fine world held in fear.
Locked behind doors, all life was on pause,
Void of its hope and good cheer.

This is the real George Bootle. I apologise for my lateness as I had no idea that I had been handed over the command of this micro-blog! As I am now aware, will endeavour to keep this blog afloat with the latest updates for Bootlebird. #surprise#whydidntyoutellmerachel
