Hello Paul,

Oh yes, we remember Patrick McKee with 'himself' attending his own wake in the bar with all his friends. Such a delight....and the saga continues in this ditty with said Patrick petitioning God to get into Heaven. Another laugh-out-loud poem with a delicious array of humorous lines. You have a magical sense of comedic timing, Paul!

This is too funny and very welcome on a late Saturday morning :)).

Patrick should take a long inhale, while he waits for entry beyond those Pearly Gates...

Always,
Senyai

A more sober wakeup call, I cannot imagine. Many of us, the living, live our lives without regard that there are consequences for our actions. Some of us act as though there is a place in heaven that is guaranteed and we need not worry. We act as if there is someone up there who will argue on our behalf and we can rest assured that it will work. Wake up and smell the coffee, it is burning. Can you feel the heat?

    Thanks for the review. Patrick will feel the heat as you will see in the not too distant future.

An enlightening negotiation between Patrick McKee and The Almighty. It's best to be prepared for the hereafter, I find. The spiritual paperwork can be such a buggar and must pass God's all-seeing eye. I belong to Christ, and I'm ready to go at anytime.

Sending you my best today as always,
Sal :))

How many of us could have thought the same thoughts you portray here?
Of course, there's no such thing as sin, but that doesn't take away from the anecdote...John

    Thanks for the review, John. There's no such thing as sin? Thanks for that. I was getting worried.

This is hilarious and I need to find the first poem because I don't remember reading it. Not only is this poem humorous but it rhymes very well, which I love. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

There's Room Below, Though...

I haven't read your poetry before this very night,
but I must say I think you've surely got the message right.
I loved the rhyme and rhythm too, and found I had to grin
when Father God informed him that Pat's chances were quite slim... :))

Paul,

Uh oh. Somebody's been a rather bad boy - but still expecting to be treated as a good one. That seems about right. Still trying to milk life (and the afterlife) for everything he can get. Fun stuff. Thanks!

I love your irreverence. What a great read to wake up to. Your rhyme and humour are delightful. Just a side issue here, Your poor wife. She's had to put up with this for fifty six years. Seriously, congratulation on a wonderful achievement. We come up for fifty in a couple of years, we did however have a ten year break along the way. Back to the poem.
If you were a Scotsman, I'd ask one more question, Did you reverse the charges? Truly a brilliant oiece of writing

    Thanks, Bob. When I was charged for irreverence, I tried to reverse the charges. Didn't work.

Yes, I remember Patrick and his wake. I wasn't impressed with him or his friends. Poem was good, though. This is hysterical! Iove the part where his brother has been sleeping with his wife and they are waiting for life insurance. Very well written and creative.
