DESCRIBE HEAVEN 

To describe heaven… let me see,
from ideas in my head?
From scriptures that have been twisted,
or verses…that I’ve read?

Heard, “Truth is stranger than fiction,”
at this…might try my hand?
Was warned if I pursue this course,

of the class of '55
was quite a celebration
for the ones who had survived...

A goldfish has a memory of about three seconds
Very much like senior citizens I'd say
They're often seen aimlessly walking the streets
Wearing their dear wife's negligee

A sneeze has been recorded at travelling over

Very much like senior citizens I'd say
They're often seen aimlessly walking the streets

Nor does sipping softly on organic green tea,
Or turning a book to page ninety...

You made us out of your own image,
with love and life a gift you gave.
You gave us a paradise to live in.

You have saved a thousand rooms in heaven.

In the dirt there's gotta be treasure
Better go 'splorin' (for good measure)

Was engaged off of Formosa
When the kamikazes darkened the skies.

Hit on the flight deck and the island,
One hundred forty four died.
