I had a thought, that if I got to Heaven <br />And knocked on the 'pearly gates' at seven, <br />St Peter would say ' Hold it there' <br />We haven't got a place to spare, <br />Not at least, until the clock strikes ten <br />Then we would consider you again. <br />Now, if you would like to take a seat <br />Outside somewhere, and rest your feet, <br />We'd definitely be able to take you through <br />When the clock strikes half past two. <br />But if by chance a 'harp' you play, <br />There'd be a place for you, right away! <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-heavenly-thought/
