The pontiff's quite advanced in years, you know;
and frequently his movements are quite slow.
He takes his time in transport, plush,
for he is seldom in a rush,
no matter where His Hooliness may go.

Author Notes
Today's word: hooliness (n.) slowness, gentility; lateness, tardiness.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
