ON LINE

 

On the long line for admission

To Hell stands a child. It's hard

To imagine why she's there 

But there she is, fidgeting,

Holding the memory of a toy

That was blown up with her 

One damned soul makes faces 

To amuse her. Another starts 

A long story about an elephant 

And a lizard and a flying boat.

It's a very long line and, really,

What else have we to do?
