The angels changing shifts use ladders
To go between Earth and Heaven. You'd think
They'd fly or at least use escalators but no;
They climb up and down ladders. Worse,
There are no ladders just for going up and
None for just going down so they must
Push past each other. When an angel going off-shift
Has news for his replacement, everyone on their ladder
Waits, commending themselves on how patiently they're waiting.
