Poem Title:
Poem
I really wanted, a refreshing day Thinking to myself, what was the best way First some cold water, I splashed on my face Evidence of sleep, vanished without a trace I felt my pores shrink, my eyes came awake Brrr I was so cold, I started to shake Perhaps a warm shower, was the answer for me I ran the hot water but needed to pee Off to the toilet as the water ran hot Not so refreshing, it burned quite alot Jumping from the shower, I slipped and hit my head Things had started out well, but I ended up dead Before I knew it, I stood at Heaven's gate Better to show up early than to get there too late I was handed a mint, it seems I had bad breath One of the side effects, of succumbing to death Minty and refreshing, it gave me a glow As the gates opened I went with the flow I was quite curious, wondered what I'd see There the tree of life, right in front of me I walked towards it, reached up for some fruit Soft music was playing, I think a Pan Flute As I began to bite, a voice told me to stop Being quite startled, I let the fruit drop Saint Peter asked me, "How did you end up here?" my knees started knocking, I was overcome with fear Was I bound for Hell, I truly hoped not I prefer refreshing and Hell is quite hot Saint Peter was laughing, there had been a mistake I wasn't bound for Hell, or a fiery lake It seems I'd been taken, way before my years I felt so refresed as I shed thankful tears My body was gone, I needed one new He promised me one, with no teeth to chew So down through the clouds, placed into a womb So warm and cozy, not cold like a tomb All of my memories, firmly in tact Until my birthday, when I felt a smack All thoughts and memory, vanish without a trace Refreshing new love, found in my mother's face
