A Pop Tart in Heaven
Did I ever post the most recent version? I don't think I did. I have so many things to write/fix/illustrate. I want to publish something with art and this is one of the pieces...
Pop Tarts in Heaven (Circa 2003)
Dying is jumping out of your skin
and never coming back in again.
So like a burnt pop tart I sprung into Heaven
Where twinkling white light
Gives way to a gold tooth burning bright
A letter for each finger together reads S-E-V-E-N
God cracks his knuckles
Pinstripes and a red carnation
He takes in smoke
He lets out chuckles
Thus begins my heavenly hash reincarnation
Then God said “Let their be Twister”
And there was Twister
(it was the Omega Special Edition)
With a wink, a smile, and the flick of a finger
God spun his spinner.
A sip of his gin and tonic he took
the needle stopped
and God sat with a puzzled look
He read outloud:
“left foot land, right foot water, also likes air?
Oh Lordy Jesus!!
A flying, swimming thing with hair!!!”
Then all the angels flew about
assembling my parts and pieces
God waved his cigar
“I’m done! Have a great life!!
I heard him exclaim as I fell out of sight
And back to earth I came
to swim with the Hippopotamus,
The Walrus, the Rhinoceros, and the Octopus

But I called Him my Creator
And He called me His Platypus
