Donald Duck had a great fall
Oh, poor Trump came tumbling down!
Is it the annual Karmic audit time
when wrong doers have to pay
for wrong doing?
I am fascinated by evil as I sit

enjoy the show.
At present good people and
people of good
Is the Pope another Donald Trump?
Whenever I visit a website recently someone or the other
is writing on the subject of the Pope’s attitude towards gays.
The reaction has spanned from disbelief to turning some people rabid
after a monsoon shower.
How can you compare the Pope with Donald Trump?
