"How's your life been?"


Poem Artwork

There was nothing the doctor

could do - called the man's

wife in; she kissed him, said

goodbye; was given his last

rights . . .

Heard a voice from the heavens

above, "How's your life been?"

"Just thought I'd ask;" "Oh, by

the way, don't worry, everything's

okay . . . "

"You'll be coming home, but first,

there's something we've got to do;"

"Have to rebuild a part of Heaven!"

"That section is in shambles, it's a

ruin . . . "

"It's going to take a while, because

all the workman are half asleep;"

"And after all the work they've done,

nothing has changed - it's still the

same . . . "

"Somehow, with all that's going on,

we're expected to wear a smile,

because the Big Boss is keeping

an eye on us;" "So we play it real

cool . . . "

"Then of course, come five o'clock

workers are running around - that's

the !.#%# union for you (whoops,

I hope the Big Cheese didn't hear

me . . .) "

"Well, I've gotta go now, everywhere

it's getting dark and there's a six

o'clock curfew;" "Plus, it's time for

tea and I have to go home to the

wife . . . "

"What was that you ask?" "What

exactly are the carpenters working

on?" "The dance hall was wrecked;"

"Can you hold a sec, my cell phone is

ringing . . . "

"Okay God, I understand;" "Well, that

was the Chief;" "He changed his mind,

no more dancing!" "He's closing it down

because it was in Hell's Kitchen; of all the

nerve . . . "

I enjoyed this picture of heaven and the last dance because God is closing down the dance hall kept in Hell's Kitchen. If this is heaven, maybe we should stay on earth where there is no God to shut down the dance hall.
