Pearly Gates

And when we reached the pearly gates St Peter looks at us and states Your lives have been so full of sin There is no way you’re coming in I’ll send you to that other place Which isn’t any real disgrace For many famous folk are there Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire Several Popes and clergy too Are waiting there to welcome you You might enjoy the Hades folk Who fornicate and drink and smoke At their will they take their pleasure Live a life of joy and leisure So be off, be on your way For at this place you cannot stay And should one day you feel inclined A place for me you could but find Send a note, the merest jot And I’ll be with you like a shot © John W Fenn 10-01-2009
