Knocking on Heaven’s Door April 18, 2008

Saint Peter at the pearly gates
sits waiting for the dead
but one thing which he really hates
is being pranked instead
The bell rang out! he rushed to see
but found nobody there
“oh who could that prank caller be?
they gave me quite a scare!”
it happened once, it happened twice
Saint Peter’s face turned red
it really isn’t very nice
to mess with Peter’s head
the third time Peter shouted: “Man!
stop playing with the bell!
Just one more time and you’ll be banned
and sent right down to Hell!”
“It’s not my fault!”, a voice replied
“I’m sorry, cant you see?!”
I’m clearly dead, but still they tried
resuscitating me!
Paul Hughes 2008
I am most impressed by this, a very clever poem! And I like the picture.
I agree with the other comment
This is a very delightful poem.
I love this one… Have emailed the link to the vicar who is marrying me…. Obviously as he knows I am rather a half pagan he has a sense of humor and will enjoy this
… I just re read that.
I am not marrying the vicar by the way… *shudder*
I am being married by the vicar to MyMark… just to clarify things for those who were perhaps interested
No… No vicar wife role for me…. phew.
i enjoyed this one!!
and proves my theory of you becoming famous one day with talent like this ……..
