According To Census and Consequences

According to Census and Consequence

Have heard according to latest census,
When you will compare consequences;
Difficult to digest;
Many are in west;
In south you hardly do find any fences.

Premium Member Senseless Census Interference

"I'm from the Census Bureau," I said
"You're from the U.S. government, I dread"
     So I asked him his name
     He replied, "Putin-tame"
~ Ha! I'll have to deport you, all the same!"

Premium Member The Kid and the Census Taker

It appears that Billy, the Kid had some fun with a census taker
during that period when the Kid was a cattle rustler.
On the application where it states what one does for a living
the Kid jotted down "cattle managing."

Hell's domain..alloyed

Is your name inside?

Mark 1:15  is all thats required to be therein
