[bodytext] => Fate stuck her little fingers in And gave my chest a tweak, Just nipped the feeble blood vessels And stopped the heart, so weak. Then after all the floaty stuff And fog and blinding lights, I found myself upon some stairs Whose end was lost from sight. So gamely I began along The golden climb ahead, Now thankful that I couldn't have Angina, being dead. Then after maybe half an hour Of plodding, two appeared, One's hand clenched the other's scruff As downward he was steered. He babbled strangely, hissing as He fought to no avail, And as they hurried past I saw His horns and little tail. So on I went for what seemed days, Until I reached a gate, Set among thick barbed wire coils Where sentries lay in wait. Between them sat a girl in white, Hand held out snapping, 'Pass! ', And flustered I began to pat My pockets for the lass. Inside my coat I found a chit That wasn't there before; 'One permit, life to afterlife', 'Just single trip, no more'. She took the slip and scrutinised, As all officials do, Then smiled and rang a silver bell, Said, 'Ok, go on through'. The gate swung open at my touch, A man was there to greet, With wings and halo, pinstriped smock, Said, 'Follow me, I'm Pete'. And that's all I'm allowed to tell, My dears, until your time. Except the food here's to die for, And the weather's always fine, And all the family say hello, Accomodations nice. I'll close now, audience with The Boss, He needs some more advice.
