Rico Leffanta Poet Limerick

The Sobeth Day

The Lord says you must  attend church
So no child is left in the lurch
Despite the weather
A strap of leather
Will work just as well as the birch*

* The Mayflower pilgrims came to
Plymouth so they could enjoy the
freedom to fine, humiliate, torture,
and "purify" any and all who did not
adhere to their beliefs.   Trump believes
that attitude made America great.

Carolyn Devonshire March 4, 2021 at 7:45 AM Yes, I do see flaws in the MAGA mentality. But I am against hitting children. Of course, I've never raised one, so I'll bow to your knowledge. Hugs, Carolyn Rico Leffanta March 4, 2021 at 10:22 AM Hitting children is the best way to teach children to respond with violence rather than reason; isn't that what religion is all about? Aloha! Rico

Lindsay Laurie March 1, 2021 at 3:04 PM Hello Rico … I don’t think the Lord would be too happy with them. They tried doing him out of his job - thanks again Rico - Lindsay Rico Leffanta March 2, 2021 at 10:15 AM Like Australia's aboriginals, Native Americans lived successfullyi for thousands of years without one single church for children to attend! Isn't that amazing? Aloha! Rico
