David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Is There Chicken Fried Steak In a West Texas Heaven

Is There Chicken Fried Steak in a West Texas Heaven
David J Walker 

Should I decide 
To commit suicide 
It will be death by
Chicken fried steak 

And would it not be a mistake 
To go to my grave 
Via a fine china gravy boat  

I could float off to my 
Eternal reward 
Aboard a mountain of
Mashed potatoes 

Amidst the shiny halos 
Of other obese Angels 
Of a better Chicken fry batter nature

But really
Does it matter what I weight 
When I get there

Will they put me in a 
weight watchers purgatory 
Before I can behold the glory of God

Odd 
To think that all angels have 
Perfect angels and 
A proper BMI ratio 
After eating all of that
Angel food cake 

Still
For God so loved the World
That he gave us 
Chicken fried steak
