I love my Uncle James.
He is a forward sender, but I love him all the same.
Today he sent this poem and I must admit, it is hilarious. Read and enjoy:
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.
'And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'
JUDGE NOT.

Loved the poem....will be forwarding it to all my family which will shock them since I never forward anything.
I had D.N. on my mind when I read the poem, 'cause after all those great vacation photos of humanity he has taken over the years...everyone will wonder how in the H-E double hockey sticks did he get here?
