[Magdalen] The throne of heaven

[Michael Bishop]

I thought some listren might like the following which has been forwarded 
to me :-)

*/Obama, Hillary and Trump are standing at the throne of heaven.
/*
*/God looks at them and says,
/*
*/"Before granting you a place at my side, I must ask you what you have 
learned and what you believe in"./*

*//*
*/God asks Obama first: "What do you believe?"
/*
*/Obama thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye and says
/*
*/"I believe in hard work and in staying true to family and friends.  I 
believe in giving.  I was lucky but I always tried to do right by my 
countrymen"./*
*/God can't help but see the essential goodness of Obama and offers him 
a seat to his left. /*
*//*
*/Then God turns to Hillary and says "What do you believe?"
/*
*/Hillary says "I believe that passion, discipline, honor and courage 
are the fundamentals of life.  Like Obama, I believe in hard work. I, 
too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've always tried to be a true 
patriot and a loyal American."/*
*/God is greatly moved by Hillary's eloquence and offers her a seat to 
his right./*
*//*
*/Finally God turns to Trump and says "And you Donald, what do you 
believe?"/*

*//*
*/Trump replies "I believe you're in my seat"/*
