Notes About The Poem

CNN reported that on March 24, 2020 more than 1,000 students returned to (evangelical Christian) Liberty University's Lynchburg, VA campus, following a directive from University President, Jerry Falwell, Jr.

Go Back To School, Fool

Liberty U's open now, did you hear
No sex permitted or drinking of beer
   Students praise the Lord
   They study His Word
CV's not in the Bible ~ What's to fear

You're right, of course, Andrea. Falwell should be behind bars... He would be here in Illinois. Gov. Pritzker's not playing games. Neither is Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago. They've given me hope that the Democrats haven't gone off the deep end. (Not that the Republicans are any better). Take good care, Gershon

Clever limerick, Gershon. A pastor in Florida was arrested a few days ago for having an in-church service with hundreds in attendance. Maybe Falwell should be arrested too! Not fussing at YOU. The poem is good. I don't think our faith demands that we be stupid.

Right you are. Blind faith is not desirable at all. Thanks, Janice. Take care, Gershon
