Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

If You Die In An Elevator

If you happen to die in an elevator
Be sure to push “UP” fore you go
I know a man who surely panicked
Pushed “DOWN”, wound up down below

Tried to explain to Satan what happened
Pushed the “DOWN” button by mistake
The Pearly Gates was where he wanted to go 
Begged Satan to give him a break

Said he always had lived an exemplary life
Was kind and generous most times
He once stole some candy from a baby though
But he's tried to put that behind 

“Sorry,” said Satan, “I've got hold of you now
Won't let you out of my sight
My rules down here are strict and quite simple
You pay for your sins forthright!”

“But what if I can guarantee a special treat?”
“What are you offering, my friend?”
“A night of passion with Kim Kardashian”
On his way to Heaven he did wend!

David Fisher January 19, 2013 at 3:17 PM What an ingenious way to look at an elevator. Sometimes I feel that way when using one for the first time at a large hotel-the wrong button disaster! Jack Ellison January 20, 2013 at 5:48 AM Wait till you get to be MY age!!! I'm always pushing the wrong button! LOL Thanks for dropping by my friend!

Demetrios Trifiatis January 19, 2013 at 7:56 AM Dear Jack, Always you make me smile, today you make me laugh. You see when you are close to eternity, stories like these shouldn’t be taken lightly at all! I think the button down I am bound to push not by mistake but rather from guilt! SUPERB writing! Have thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you! Jack Ellison January 20, 2013 at 5:43 AM Not sure if I'm going UP or DOWN! I think I've been a nice enough fellow by MY standards anyway! LOL Thanks Demetrios for dropping by... cheers, Jack
