The Throne In Heaven

When I pictured Heaven and how the angels sing 
Never once did I think of a ding-a-ling 

The throne for me was made of gold, a big chair so to speak 
And now “Holy Cow” it’s white and cold sometimes has a streak 

I used to picture angels, clothed in silver thread 
Now I see all the Saints rushing to the “Head” 

The pearly gates I must say were bright green and blue 
Now brown and yellow’s all I see because it is a Loo 

Yes, the throne is such an image I can’t tell my granddaughter  
Because I fear, she’ll see and hear then ask about the water 

A big bathroom up in Heaven? What am I to say? 
Is that why some clouds look brown on a rainy day? 

Is the thunder really from the rain or what causes it to start 
Maybe an angel has a pain causing him to fart 

How do I explain where all the water goes? 
It can’t come down as you flush or it would stain your clothes 

Up is not an option due to gravity 
Darn it Jack, you made me ask 
In Heaven “DO YOU PEE?”

Enjoyed, but reminds me of an old song, "Its only Make Believe" . . . ..
