Toad at the Gates of Doom
Outside the Gates of Hades
sits a cross-eyed toad
beside a burnt-out serpent
a broker and a phone
Outside the Gates of Heaven
sits an angel in disguise
beside a corpulent bishop
with ecstasy in his eyes
and the sign on the gate says:
Closed for Renovation
No judgement today
If you’re looking for accommodation
Clear off, go away.
God is on vacation
taking a well-earned break
there’s only so much suffering
one true God can take
So, get your ass back down there
be good to everyone
drink lots of water
and try to get along.
Outside the gates of Hades
sits a cross-eyed toad
beside a devil with a laptop
revising the Moral Code
Outside the gates of heaven
seven priests in a line
they’re longing for eternity
but this is not their time
and the sign on the gate says:
Closed for Renovation
No judgement today
If you’re looking for accommodation
Clear off, go away.
God is on vacation
taking a well-earned break
there’s only so much suffering
one true God can take
So, get your ass back down there
be good to everyone
drink lots of water
and try to get along.
I believe it! Briliant.

If there were a heaven and hell, this would probably describe them perfectly.😆
