SUNDAY SCRIBBLINGS
Topic: INTERVIEW
AN IMPORTANT INTERVIEW!
Suppose I were offered a place
In Heaven!
Suppose I were allowed
To design my Heaven myself!
Suppose I had to attend
An Interview
To gain admittance!
*
Would it go something like this?
*
State your chosen age.
It is understood that you will remain
This age forever.
*
Well, obviously,
I choose eighteen.
*
You do realise, of course,
That you will never see your descendents.
They will never be born.
*
Better make it seventy, then.
I rather like my family.
*
You must like them very much
Because
You will be old for all eternity.
Arthritis?
Indigestion?
Mottled skin?
*
All right then!
Make it thirty-five!
*
Not a bad choice;
You'll know your parents and your children.
The youngest child will be waking-up
Screaming
Every night!
For Eternity!
*
Would you be terribly hurt
If I decided
To reject the whole idea?
*
I'd rather have a snooze!
