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!

    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 :)

  4. Daisy Davies Says:

    … 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.
