ALL THIS AND HEAVEN TOO?

A bunch of angels
having fallen

kick a tin can around
in lieu of a football.

They are new to earth
and have nothing better to do.

They look a bit
the worse for wear.

The center forward
with an injured left wing

goes around an old shabby
angel who should know better

leaving him on his ***
after nut-meging him

before  sidefooting
the Heinz baked beans tin.

"Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
he hollers so Heaven can hear him.

The goalie the angel with
the ***** face blushes

having gone
the other way.

Immediately all hell breaks loose
and the angels don't hold back.

Kicks to shins kicks to knees
and other more sensitive areas.

Shouts of "No never...that
was clearly off side!"

Gabriel is using his trumpet
for a hearing aid and a deadly weapon.

A wino turns his bottle upside down
for the very last precious drop.

"That was defo offside!"
he burps.

The fallen angels
pay him no attention.

What would a mere
mortal know.

The wino staggers away.
"It was( hic! HIC!)never a goal!"
