Hey Joe, this is the Lord!


My dear Democrats, please don’t take offense at this piece.  It is in the spirit of jest.  Thank you for your understanding.

Hello sleepy Joe!
Sorry, just could not resist.

I am here to tell you something.
Lord, please don’t ask me to quit the race; I am going to win.
No, no, no, don’t worry, Joe.

I am not here to tell you to leave the race.
Oh heavens not.
Instead, I’m here to tell you to fight like hell.
Go down fighting.
Remember the Alamo!

To not give up requires a lot of courage.
You, Americans, don’t quit, don’t withdraw.
You double down.
Wage the best fight of your life.

If you withdraw now, you will look weak.
Do you want to look weak?  I am sure not.
You want to look strong despite the odds.
You know odds can be beaten.

Even if you go down fighting.
You can say proudly I gave all that I had.
No regrets.

So, I tell you to stay the course, stand tall.
Fight the best fight of your life.
And, not worry the outcome.
I will be rooting for you, Joe.
Que sera sera, whatever will be will be!

I must go now.
I need to pay a visit to Donald Trump.
I need to see what he is up to now.
Must be up to his old tricks
Bad boy!
Even I can’t persuade him!
Mean beast!  (pardon my language)
