If capitalism reached heaven
St peter would own a seven eleven
Clouds give way to plastic floors
The gates would be electric doors

Guardian angels sell warrantees
To cover accident and disease
Some would wash windshields for tips
The others selling timeshare trips

Of course we would all live longer
And not because we are any stronger
Our lives would all take an age
The reapers earning minimum wage

Hell is now a front for the mob
Even Satan lost his job
Flipping burgers for a buck
Beelzebub is out of luck

Zall, I knew there was an explanation for Mickey Dees somewhere.

Good one, Zall
I like this, very much.

Perhaps a nice shoe-shine stand for Martha Stewart, when her time comes

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

Shoe shine for Martha Stewart, polishing to a perfect shine with an environmentally all natural polish made herself. With of course a hand woven rag made from recycled thread. She could even tie dye your laces for you!

Funny everyone seems to Supersize now the prince of darkness takes the drive through orders!

Thanks guys, nice to "write light" for a change, glad you like it.
