To Heaven We Have To Go

To Heaven We Have to Go
or Hi Ho Where is the Dairy Oh

Loved him with all of his ambience
Which often had wished I could absconce
Wh happened to be handsome to the hilt
Like a frustrated flower, could make me wilt.

Was becoming with smile which was contagious
Almost as broad as from here to Uranus
Style was firm and for nothing ever did waiver
And I forever wanted to be in his favor. 

God who often harbors self in heaven above
Who we willfully worship and always love
He has developed a fallacy while growing older
Likes going around wearing a chip on his shoulder.

About problem, I warned him and also behooved
Once everything to heaven, you have moved
I had hoped that you would not ever mind
Leaving all that I own of mine behind.

In last days, he became meaner and meaner
While ending up taking us both to the cleaners
And when he finally in heaven had arrived
From our diligent divorce nothing had survived.

So when I said that you had become a mystic
You went to heaven and was totally ballistic
Now why would you want to go up there
Where no one smokes and they never swear.

Can you imagine some people having to go there.

Hi, James, I feel the hurt in your poem. Writing is a great way to get it all out. You use irony and that is one way to do it. Most of us experience loss of one kind or another. I lost my son to CF at the age of 13. I know he's in heaven and I'll see him again one day. I'm new here and am just skipping around reading other people's poems. I'm glad I found yours.

Jim, Look like we all have something to look forward to, that is, not discounting the fact that some of us might actually end up in the "infernal region." And so, "It Pays to Be Good"!!! I don't think either place is really for me. I really like your ironic message here. All the Best!! Gary Bateman
