When Jesus Christ returns to the earth this son of Satan will receive his just reward ...a divine decline into the abyss...This is a wonderful footle triplet with a blending of prophetic humor...

These really made me chuckle. I can't resist saying though, "the pope gets caught UP in his Robes," "Humble Bum-ble" ;) Congrats! Nicely played.

good grief, Faye, I had no idea who was writing these and still I have picked yours high again, very high!! I almost had it at two and then thought, nah! I will just have more number one's!! You did yours the way I would have done them, with the funny titles, and with the rhyme on both syllables of each word, and that is what made it even easier for me to love these. Congrats!!
