№ 843: Doubting Thomas Road

OUT TO LYNCHBURG, VA (April 26) —
What with the talk of cure in the air,
why is there no one speaking of prayer?
So many say they can pray gay away,
why don't they say, “Make corona go 'way”? 

Why isn't Falwell, that sinister minister,
pleading for aid from his supposed Listener?
But, I suppose, this is totally logical.
Doubtless, his thinking on things theological
is, “Heaven’s my home. I am not of the world.
I (and my Dad) can tell God where He's failed.
And then inform Him how things would done,
with Falwells in charge, Father AND Son.
Implement Jerry-mandered requirements,
pushing the Old Guy into retirement.
