Are you Hoping to Go to Heaven
If you’re planning to go to heaven
be prepared to be surprised:
After centuries of faithful service,
Saint Peter, and most sadly,
has decided to retire and been
replaced by an Entry System newly
installed and computerized.
Each hopeful first-timer will, of course,
have to learn to use it properly perforce
given tens of thousands arriving hourly,
the waiting period – unlike those lengthy
airport lines on earth – will quickly shrink
and facilitate the process in a wink
or, if you prefer a more suitable
analogy, faster than a miracle!
Because the system (keep in mind)
was for maximum efficiency designed.
Thus, your next step will be to follow
the easy instructions listed below
posted in your own language and be
guaranteed a quick no red tape entry.
Here’s how it works:
• If you know you are saved, press 1.
• If you’re not sure but want to be, press 2.
• If you think you are unworthy, press 3.
• If atheist or agnostic, press 4.
• If none of the above, press 5.
• If short on patience and humility, press 6
and hold; a representative will assist you.
And be aware that your conversation
and behavior will be monitored, and if less
than kosher, expect to be denied access
to your life’s hope for eternal preservation.
