On the occasion of JP2's urinary tract infection:

"The Pope's Penis," Sharon Olds

It hangs deep in his robes, a delicate
clapper at the center of a bell.
It moves when he moves, a ghostly fish in a
halo of silver sweaweed, the hair
swaying in the dark and the heat -- and at night
while his eyes sleep, it stands up
in praise of God.

(I first read this in a contemporary poetry class in college, taught by a poet in his 70s, who countered the inevitable snickering with "now, now, let's be mature.)

BBC appear to be terribly wrong footed by him not dying conveniently before news night and in the absence of any other news are running 20 minutes of obituary anyway.
