EXCELSIOR?

Saint Francis didn't pray it,
says the Vatican today;
that prayer that asks serenity
has not had a long stay.
It dates back just a century
to journals out of France,
which kinda puts the kibosh
on its mystical romance.
Instead some scholars now believe
the sainted Francis said:
"I never saw a purple cow"
or "Excelsior!" instead.
