A doggerel series
about the countries of the world.
Vatican City.
Well, this one used to puzzle me
When I was but a kid: You see,
I could not really figure out
What “city” here was all about.
How could a country be a town?
(My little brow then formed a
frown.)
But then I learned the history—
The Catholic Church. The Holy
See.
(Of course, at first that latter
term
Just baffled me, I can confirm.)
But then I learned it was in
Rome—
Which long had been its holy
home.
And then I read Da Vinci Code—
And felt so smart ’bout what I
knowed.*
*Sorry, but knew just doesn’t rhyme here.
