Closed For Renovation

It was a sign,
Hung on heaven's gate,
I know, I saw it,
It'd just be my fate

What happened?
The angels all on vacation?
The Heavenly Father at the beach?
Is this what bible school taught me?
That God is temporarily out of reach?

Guess I'll just hang around,
No bargain- basement shopping for me,
I like cool surroundings,
Not blistering heat, that's key,...

I gotta look on the bright side
It could have been much worse,
If it'd said, "Under New Management",
Oh, dear God, that would have been a curse.
