Wish You Were Here

what is the appropriate postcard to send
When you land in hell?
Or have you remained self-centered still?

Would your mom want pitchforks from her dear?
Better yet one that says “wish you were here”.

No, send that to the ex-wife.
You know she’ll be coming along any time.
With her crazy habits, and her annoying whine.

Do you send one to your boss?
Why not? He is an obvious contender.
Another buyer makes a quick choice, a regular sender.

Someone hits you in the back with a pitchfork hard
Come on you idiot! Choose your mama’s card!
