Don’t much wanna go to heaven
wouldn’t know no one there, no way
as the kind that I holds near and dear
won’t be a gettin’ thru them pearly gates.
There’s a better chance you’ll find me
sittin’ round a fire ring somewheres
talkin’ loud and smoking Marlboro’s
next to a tub a ice cold beer.
Wearing an old King Diamond tee shirt
and a pair a too tight jeans
sittin’ on some ol’ boys lap, feelin’ frisky-
in the trailer park o my dreams…
Where on every space there’s a double wide
and the lot rents paid in full
and my sister’s- ex-fi-ance’s -brother-in-law
has done his last parole.
So when I exit life’s long lost highway
don’t you be a worrin’ ’bout where I’ve gone
’cause I’m sure there’ll be a For Rent sign
on a nice li’l trailer in the great beyond….
When Chelsea Ann Owen’s put out a call for Terrible Poetry inspired by my take on heaven, I knew I had to repost this piece. Terrible or not, I still believe this to be my definitive view of heaven.

Don’t suppose it would still be heaven if I asked to come share it with you?

Reminds me of what my Dad used to say when I left the house…”Don’t do anything I wouldn’t enjoy!”
At one point my folks lived in a trailer complex, in hurricane Alley only had to evacuate a few times…
I read your piece and think of the movie “The Three People You Meet In Heaven” – Heaven is what you make it. I like that idea most out of all the belief systems.

As with most things subjected to your golden touch, it’s not terrible. 🙂 In fact, I think it’s a great answer to the original song.
