Sylvia reached out the backdoor of the black Uber, and grabbed the green alligator briefcase off the sidewalk as the driver sped away down Rue Jefferson. They are bound for the Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist.
👧🤠👧
The tall Red Warrior recently off the Houston train is perched on the back seat between
Sylvia and Dillard.
💧
Their destination is the Cathedral Rectory. Where the Rector's housekeeper, Hildegarde Bottlebrush moonlights from her housekeeping duties by repairing the opulently funded Republican Snowball Mission briefcases.
Hildegarde is not a true believer in the D. C. beltway mission advocating 'Non- Global Warming'. After all, she regularly drives through ever rising street flooding on her way to and from Rouses Market, near the University of Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun sports and gaming complex.
No, not a true believer, but skilled at repairing the often broken briefcase freezer units.
She fixes and returns them to service, for a fee.
She also spiritually joins
in prayers for his constituents whose kin he is returning in hospital beds to their living rooms.
"Together again, poorer but great again," they each whisper prayerfully into The Donald's megaphone.
🙏😇🙏
The red hatted warrior removes her lapel button reading, "Love America / Love The Donald," and replaces it with one of the late Pope Francis smiling from inside an elegant little gold-framed photo of The Gentle Pope, behind a curved plastic 'glass'.

The jolly bearded man passing out the pins was Hurricane Katrina flotsam, from New Orleans. He had bought the pins at the giftshop in Big Swamp City's Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France, for just such a propagation opportunity as presented at Pamplona's that night. His target? A handful of jaded oil barons at the bar.
They were not men of Pope Francis' liberal persuasions.
They were boys raised up Catholic, in Acadiana; now grown into rich oil men incapable of snubbing any Pope. Not even a liberation theologist one encased inside a tiny, curved plastic frame.
