I stood in line at the Pearly Gates
waiting my turn to enter there
wondering if I would be turned away
and saying a little prayer.

Two men before me were consigned
to the fiery depths of hell
one a lawyer of some renown
the other one named Fidel.

I stood up next and prepared
to be questioned on what I wrote
after all those naughty poems,
surely, I would be smote.

My record held in Angel’s wing
he perused it with great care
scratched his head and asked me
Please, to wait right there.

I waited nervously and thought
I'd be told hell is where I'm bound
then all around there came
a booming, laughing sound.

A light approached from everywhere
and before me stood one so grand
I immediately fell to my knees
and kissed His Godly hand.

“Will I be sent to fiery depths
to burn forever more
Have I not done some good in life
to avoid that hellish shore?”

He smiled at me and took my hand
and said that I should know
Heaven’s gates are always open
That’s where all poet’s go!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

Oh I certainly hope so...never to have writers block...never to not have a piece of paper when the right words come to your head...
