Has he traveled through the air
He then uttered a little prayer
Wanting to avoid hell
It was just as well
For he had lived his life without care.

At times like these, past choices sting,
Yes, even the smallest of things
’Twas right then it dawned, “Uh,
I shoulda bought Honda,
‘Cuz now I’d have my Gold Wings!”

A little bit battered and sore
He now waits at heavens door
He pulls a string
The bells all ring
Will he enter I'm not to sure.

As Peter opens pearly gate,
The man will now find out his fate.
“Well let’s have a look…
see if name’s in book.”
Finds out his death on further date.

“Were you ever a quarterback, mate?”
Pete continues, “It’s never too late.
It isn’t time yet
Go play clarinet
For it says here that heaven can wait.”

Now it seems he's been reprieved
He bid goodbye and turned to leave
God said my son
Your jobs not done
As we only take those who believe.

So that’s when he truly began
To understand God’s larger plan
That life, not a circus,
Has meaning and purpose,
Ever after is quite a timespan!

It was time to put things right
He prepared himself for the fight
One little scare
Made him aware
At last he'd seen the light.

He decided that he would go big
With a Poetry Soup Kitchen gig,
A free bowl of soup
And a sonnet to boot
And a pathway to get off the swig

Here comes the man to add his verse,
Stack on the pile got miseries to converse,
Not perturbed by the outside noise,
Keeping the poise,
Making it count the only choice.

Seems the limerick soup line is long,
But the entries are ever so strong.
A former spectator
Is now a creator.
So welcome to our little throng!

Ultimate Spectator sounds ever so keen
I'd like to welcome him to the scene
The thread is long
But still we go on
I hope we don't run out of steam.

There's plenty of steam in those that are keen
On tales of the man and fearsome machine
He goes very fast
Revs up and he blasts
And can't be seen through dark clouds of smokescreen.

The soup kitchen, down in the red
“Sweet Jesus!” from his knees, he pled.
And in came the manna
Straight from Indiana
Someone sent a truckload of bread

As the truck pulled up along
It was then he broke into song
You gave me bread
A nice warm bed
Forgive me Jesus when I do wrong.

The cases of bread looked alright.
Beneath, maybe cased Vegemite?
When they looked down under
They could hear the thunder
The soup line plays 80s tonight!

They sure were in for a feast
Along with other little treats
This was the day
He found his way
As his heart to the music skipped a beat.

We’ve stalled out a bit, it would seem.
So how ‘bout a change of the scene?
Perhaps something nice
With tundra and ice
And polar bears wrapped in visqueen?

A fatal encounter, it seems
Whoever did this was mean!
The job was fantastic
The bears, wrapped in plastic
And prints leading off the scene
