Outside of the Golden Gates
someone left a basket with
a tea towel and a note in
American English which
read, " For Pete's Snakes ".

Before anybody was allowed
to open it, God, who was down
the back of Heaven, had to be
consulted, in case it might be
***** trapped.

Jesus! he exclaimed, to all
their amazements, especially
Mother Theresa, who was the
one that noticed it, on her way
back from a dance in Limbo

She said it might be a present
from Kofi An An who, according
to the new arrivals list, was still
in Purgatory waiting for a transfer
when a space became available.

Little is said of it on earth, but
not everyone who makes it past
the Golden Gates are guaranteed
to be left there, the yellow and red
card system applies there now also.
