Please Don't Tell Calipjo Go About The Red, White and Yellow Bougainvillas

Please don't tell Calipjo Go
about the red, white and yellow bougainvillas.
He will claim they are errors of fact or expression,
accuse you of being a poet of illusion,
or worse, a science teacher with no religion,
and immediately correct your English. Badly.
And madly sic! his newspaper friends on you.
But ask him about the catechism textbooks
at his Marian School of Apparition.
Ask the True Crusader against Error itself:
As strong as crooked timber.
With modus operandi most ingenious.
A torpedo against what is Wrong.
Like Torquemada for hire.

Please don't tell Calipjo Go
about the red, white and yellow bougainvillas!
