Pray for our troops!

"Red"

I’m wearing Red on Friday,
I hope that makes it clear,
The President, and all our troops,
Get my support this year.

I voted for the man, and dream,
Let’s hope he gets his way,
And that’s why I take care to wear,
Some Red upon this day.

Those Bull-headed opponents,
Don’t like all of us “Reds”,
They moan that he was “Chosen!”
By Us! You dunderheads!

When you analyze the voting,
Localities make it clear,
Although some cities have the Blues,
The Red zone’s full of cheer.

So I’ll be wearing Red for sure,
It’s not a Star-Trek plot.
Their Red shirts spelled Security.
I’ll throw in with that lot!

Let’s push a little harder,
The next time that we choose.
I’d like a map that shows Red land,
And oceans for the Blues.

The Lefties are sad cases,
With strangely mixed-up heads.
They thought they stole our gay delight,
But they’ve now lost their “Reds!”

Morning to all my Finest Friends!

Neat Poem bob (and all the extra work to add the color!).... right now I am in working clothes & they are so dirty I am not sure what color they are! (just kidding).. But going to stores, chiroprator, dinner & football game later & RED IT WILL BE.

Thanks for thread Lori.. Is that Jeff in the pledge? and I LOVE The ping. Such a creative touch you always add for us.

Need to run for now.Will check in throuhout the weekend. I thought things would settle down here after Labor Day.. not yet.. maybe never.

New dog is named TOBY. He is a doll.. but lots of energy & time consuming...

Yes, Mama_Bear - - we need to pause daily to thank God for those who set aside
comfortable, private lives (and those of their families) to serve our nation,
and demonstrate God's principles in action.

Please have a wonderful weekend Mama.
