i guess i died
i know i tried
i had lived a lie
but it was goodbye

i showed up
at the pearly gate
st. peter say
you have ta' wait in line

said fine

didn't wanta' be here


he looked at me
said
back of the line

i said fine

finally
he called my name
hell they sounded all the same

i said
yes

he said
ok smart ass
where would you like to go

i don't know
if i have my choice
montana

st. peter
looked at me
he said i see
you don't know
do you?

well,
there's heaven & hell
or so i been taught
never gave much thought
to which i bought
nor which i sought
do i have a choice?

he looked at me sternly
said see
you still don't undertsand
take a left
take a right
don't matter ta' me

i asked a very stupid question?

he gave a suggestion
with a nod
take the right road
with your load
you do not
believe me
wanna' go left

i said ok

i walked in between

he yelled
you can not go there
but i was there
and there i was

GOD looked at me
said how did you get in?
said
i just walked in
GOD said HELL

no GOD
i did not go left nor right
i just walked in

THIS has never happened
before
said YOU opened the door
GOD asked
what book you read

all of them

HE said
come on in
read them to me

ok GOD
if YOU will
get st. peter
of of my ass

hey pete
HE said
outta' here
'till i've read
and heard
words
poetry
i ain't heard

pete looked at me
i could see
the anomosity

said hey pete
cannot even spell it

how about
adious
vio con dios
hasta la huegoes

so long
good by

you snooze
you lose

i didn't choose
heven nor hell
oh well
i chose GOD
