All Poets Go To Heaven

by CJ Heck, Leo - Not entered

St. Peter met me at Heaven's huge gate
He asked, Who are you?  Why have you come?
Then he added, Why should I let such as YOU enter in?
There is real-ly SUCH a long line!
I proudly told him of all my good deeds,
How my heart was so pure and so true.
I went on to regale him my other good traits,
And when finished, sat down for a break.
He stood there just staring, a frown on his face,
Then he loudly yelled, Ac-Cess Denied!
Access denied?  Stunned, I started to cry,
(For Heaven's alternative's wry).
I poured out my story of woe to him then,
Saying, I'm just a poor poet, St. Peter, sir.
I did my VERY best all of my life,
Hurt NO one, did I...maybe once (I lied).
All of a sudden, the gates opened wide,
There was St. Peter...he was standing aside!
God LOVES the Poet he said with a grin,
So, Madam Poet, please!  Won't you come in?

Reason for writing:

    Just being silly, I guess.
