I've lived through 8 pontificates
7 are now dead
This is the first encyclical
That I have ever read
Now, readings in theology
Are strictly for the nerdy
And pontiffs to my knowledge
Can be just a little wordy
Therefore upon reflection
I've penned this simple ode
To see if we can reconcile
The ways of God to Code
Before mankind's creation
The brightest Angel fell
He wouldn't serve in heaven
But preferred command in hell
Since the human race was made
He's used his low position
In effort to convince us
To share that same ambition
He’s plied us with sweet luxuries
As part of his temptation
All the seven vices and
The long summer vacation
And if A.I. fills all our needs
The even and the odd
Man, in his opinion
Will have no more need for God
Our pride will be enormous
Our faith will be in tatters
Our senses full of everything
And empty of what matters
So all early adopters
Before you choose this path
We’ve long tested God’s patience
Let’s not provoke His wrath
