Poem Title:
Poem
In twenty three, we waved goodbye to much celebrity But in the clouds the welcome party takes them three by three Tina Turner, Jerry Springer, Mister Donald Trump (Of which, one is poetic license; please don’t get the hump) Before the Lord, upon their knees, they had to state their case And detail what they did to benefit the human race The Lord had seats, one on each side, to help him rule the sky And now he sought two occupants to give consul on high The Lord looked at the first arrival, she looked rather proud And rumour had it that she’d always been a little loud The Lord said, Woman, tell me why these seats on either side Here on my left or on my right should be where you reside Tina Turner said, Dear Lord, I used to dance and sing Your angels will all know the joy and love that that can bring I had some upset in my life but fought with all my might So I’d be honoured to sit with you as a guiding light The Lord said I admire those with strength to fight the fight And so you may sit in the seat positioned on my right The Lord turned his attention to arrival number two Okay, Mr Talk-a-lot, so, why should I pick you? Jerry Springer said, My Lord, I find this slightly odd I doubted in my wildest dreams I’d face questions from God Yet, here I am enduring this admission interview But from that seat upon your left, I could interview you The Lord said, Hmmm, I guess you would be upset and bereft If I didn’t offer you this seat upon my left But there is still one candidate for consul in the sky So let me hear the testimony of this other guy… Trump said, ‘Look, it’s great, so great, it’s really really great, I kinda thought I wouldn’t be here till a later date But since that pawn star mowed me down as I walked in the street At least I get the chance to tell you… That you’re in my seat! [Regret.., had to miss-spell p.o.r.n. because Soup is becoming an affront to the English language. ]
