Heavenly Bliss

Heavenly bliss Shawn and Shauna fell deeply in love And were on their way to be wed When a car, on that day, took their lives straight away As both of their bodies, lie dead But their spirits were both drawn to heaven As they stood, in front of the gates Saint Peter was there, at the top of the stairs When Shawn hollered loudly “Just Wait" Now Peter looked puzzled, at Shawn And said "This is no time to tarry " Shawn spoke again, and refused to go in Without being properly married Saint Peter replied very softly "We don't do that kind of thing here But if you're willing to wait, “I’ll see if I can, get it cleared” Three months went by, while they waited Saint Peter, show up with a Priest "I know it was slow, But I want you to know You’ll be married Forever at least" As the wedding was getting started Shawn asked a question, with doubt What happens here in heaven “If this marriage just doesn’t work out” A silent filled up the heavens Saint Peter, was shaking his head And once he regained his composure This is what Saint Peter said “It took Three Months to find a Priest In this Heavenly Foyer How long do you think, I’ll take for me Up here, to find you a Lawyer ?”
