Premium Member Praying Mantis is Associated with Prayer and Luck

Praying mantis is associated with prayer
Also, good fortune, blessings, angels in the air
Derived from Greek word meaning prophet or type
A spiritual guest who sprinkles plenty of hype
They bring good luck to an ordinary garden you see.
There goes one now, blessing Old Mrs. McVee.

Premium Member Cow Pie

There's a cow pie in the yard.
So what do you think?
Is it bull?

(Cow pie is American slang for cow dung & "bull" is the
abbreviated form of a vulgar word meaning something foolish
or useless. Anyway, it's a play on words that I hope translates
ok for the non native English speakers here)

Premium Member 'amen' Is 'sexist,' He's Decided

Mr. Emmanuel Cleaver has an old Testament name
It means 'God is with us;' of that he's not ashamed

   But 'Amen' is sexist, or so he's decided
   On that, Mr. Cleaver is sorely misguided




_________________________________________   
'Emmanuel' is a name derived from the Hebrew
words 'El,' God, and 'Imanu,' with us.

'Amen' is a Hebrew word meaning 'belief.'  It has 
nothing to do with men or women whatsoever.
