The
first time I listened to Tim Minchin’s new song “Come Home (Cardinal
Pell)” I cackled. Brilliant rhyming. Religion and prison. Bell with a
Pellian knell. Minchin writes poetry with a pungent point.
The second time I listened to it I was just double checking that Minchin never used the word “fuck.” He often does. He didn’t this time. He didn’t have to – the grotesque nature of the circumstances doesn’t need to be punctuated by obscenity.
