A Limerick by Lindsey Horner:

A mob of the MAGA persuasion

Conducted a Capitol invasion.

Though possible armed, 

They parted unharmed, 

And that's how you know they're Caucasian.

Hallmark Cards, based in Kansas City, gave money to Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Roger Marshall, R-Kans. When they, voted against certifying the electoral vote count that made oe Biden president, the company asked for its money back. Jim Roberts, publisher and chief security officer at 74, a non-profit, non-partisan news site that covers American education, referred to the story on Twitter.

He got these responses for suggested messages on greeting cards for Hawley and Marshall:

roses are red violets are blue

sedition is bad we can't support you

-- NOTE-TAKING LAWYER

Roses are red

Violets are blue

We're both freaking nuts

'Cause we both follow Q

-- Travis

"We love you You're very special" and "Wishing you a White Christmas"

-- Teresa Chaykowsky

"With sympathy on your failed coup attempt"

-- Andrew Peat     

A card, some flowers, a candy box:

Each is a fine tradition.

But even when the president says, "I love you,"

We draw the line at sedition.

-- Ellen Fuoto
