Heaven was getting quite full
St Peter was letting too many in.
So God said hold up a while
welcome only those with a tragic end.
The first man came and requested entrance
for he had a sad ending to his life.
"I knew she was being unfaithful,
I just had to catch my schemming wife"
"I came home early from work one day
I thought "I'll catch her if I can"
but no matter where I looked
I just couldn't find her other man.
I walked out on my balcony,
looked down and could only stare
for there was a man hanging by his fingers
clad only in his underwear.
Ah ha! I shouted "I've found you now
and you have no place to go"
and I started stomping on his fingers
till he fell in the bushes below.
But as I looked down on him
up from the bushes his head popped
as I heaved the refrigerator over the rail
that's the point my heart stopped."
"Horrible!" cried St. Peter
"heaven welcomes your kind"
Then he turned his attention
to the next young man in line.
St Peter saw him standing there
and asked him "how did you die?"
It was just at that very moment
that the man started to cry.
"In my underwear on my balcony
I stood watching the clouds go by
when I stumbled on a rock
and over the rail went I.
But as I fell I was lucky
for I grabbed onto a balcony below
then a man came out and started shouting
and then kicked my fingers with his toe.
But once again luck prevailed
for I landed in bushes, you see
but then the crazy man above
threw a refrigerator on me!"
"My, my" said St Peter
with a shake of his head.
"all of that happened to you
and now here you are quite dead.
"Enter into your peace, my son"
and he opened up heaven's gate.
That's when he noticed another man
he came running as if he were late.
"Wait!" he cried, as he ran forward
"Don't close up the gate just yet!
For I've got a story to tell you
and you haven't heard this one, I'll bet!
Let me tell you my story,
you can thank me for it later.
Picture this, I'm all quite naked
sitting in a refrigerator........."

Wow, that was spectacular. I haven't heard that one yet. that was amazingly funny and it was so special because i've never read/seen/heard a story quite like that. It is unique, has great stanza's, it's uplifting and even tho it's about God not having enough room in heaven, for you will never run out of room, you top it off with a funny little twist!
Thank you so much for the laugh.
