Poem
This is the story of two all-time great baseball pitchers who are both in the Hall-of-Fame. So, the story goes like this. Last week the old-timers both well into their nineties, were out together at a pub enjoying a fine meal and some fine chardonnay. They talked for hours about their pasts and about how long they knew each other ever since they started playing ball together way back in little league. Over the years they became great friends exchanging Christmas gifts with each other, having Halloween parties and celebrating many occasions with each other, never missing each other's birthdays and both always attending the other's family members weddings and anniversaries. They were indeed best-of-besties for life. During their dinner conversation the topic of death came up. John, who was six months older than Joe, came up with a thought about dying and when whoever should pass first that they promise to ask the good lord if they can come back to tell the other what to expect when he gets to heaven. After they both agreed they sipped their fine wine and made the toast and a promise. Well, sure enough just about a week later, John, the elder of the two passed away. After learning of the terrible news Joe (feeling down and out and lonely) went to the pub and waited for his friend to show up. Wouldn't you know it, just about a half an hour of waiting Joe realizes that his pal John was sitting in the stool next to him. John...he shouts!! You're here, I can't believe the good lord actually agreed to you coming back. His first question to John was naturally- "John- What's it like in heaven, do they have baseball up there" John looked at Joe and smiled, then he said- "Yes, there is baseball up in heaven. He told Joe that it was awesome, but he said to Joe, there's some good news and some bad news I must tell you about. The good news is they have beautiful fields, umpires that never make a wrong call, the food is terrific, and they even have beautiful cheerleaders at every game. Wow said Joe- that all sounds amazing! Well, that's all-wonderful Joe replied, but tell me what's the bad news, John? John replied- Well, the bad news is "Get ready quick...you're the starting pitcher tomorrow" baseball in heaven playing together again forever friendship
