The Devil Is Red

72-million went to church To complain God left Trump in the lurch But the angels there Sang, "You have no prayer! Wearing the Red just earns you the birch!"

Oh yes, they just can't understand how a lying criminal could possibly lose! (Although I'm still stunned over 70 million voted for him!)

Seventy-TWO-million Americans could care less about anyone nor anything except having the freedom to not wear a mask so they can kill off their loved ones and neighbours .....Aloha! Rcio

I'm guessing "the birch" is a whipping stick?? I don't think God left Trump in the lurch. He lost because of his own failings. Still, Trump's campaign keeps calling my home looking for "donations" even after the election has ended. Let him pay his own campaign debts; I won't be fooled by his antics. Well said, Rico! Hugs, Carolyn

I did not realise young people today have not felt the birch, a "whipping stick" previously used in churches and schools. I suppose they can not relate to Satan being red, to the GOP being red, nor the red tie and hat favoured by Trump, so I must be too old to write limericks! Meanwhile, the flimflam man will continue to loot the Treasury and to solicit donations as greed is never satisfied! Take care! Aloha! Rico

It would certainly "encourage" more people to adhere to pandemic guidelines! Aloha! Rico
