Of
A
Poem
Leading
Up To A
Haiku

(On the Results of a Secret Investigation at the
Vatican Concerning Alleged Violations of
Strictures of Celibacy that Occurred in the
Rood Loft of the Holy See during a
Recent Quadrisima Sunday; Said Irregularities
Between a Cardinal and an Acolyte
Having Transpired Quietly,
and,
Possibly,
Lovingly):

The four silent witnesses
Did not speak to each other.

--- F. W. V. Thompson
