First thing I saw
walking into heaven
was Jesus and God
sitting on their pedestals
smoking fat cigars.
When I gave then a funny look
God just laughed ad said’
“What? We are immortal,
it cant hurt us.”
And I thought of
every teenager I ever knew.
He said, “Don’t blame me.
Jesus brought them back
from evangelizing
the new world.
Anyway, I don’t inhale!”
with that
he laughed so hard
and slapped his knee.
I wandered off
to find St Peter
who drinks in remembrance
but cant remember who for.
And it occurred to me
if those goddamn fools
are in charge
no wonder this
poor ole world
is in such a mess.
