Angel's Night Out
Open your window, sexy - it's me!
I've managed to escape
for one night only
You know it ain't easy
slipping down from heaven
God keeps a close eye
on all us angels
runs it like a harem up there
Sometimes
I feel I'm floating
in a big white bowl of disinfectant
If the old guy had his way
he'd have us all tied up
in St Peter's beard
strumming harps
and reading the bible 24/7
...sooo boring
But I'm a woman
and I wanna have fun
I thought we might take in the town
hit a club or two
I'll prove I can dance like an angel
just for you
Then I'll fly us home
and we can ruffle a few feathers
go crumpling sheets
until I find my other side
reconnect with my
dark and dirty
Is there any coke??
it's been a while
since my last line
It's OK,
He's otherwise engaged
(earthquake business I'm afraid)
and I checked already
the Devil's not around to snitch
but there's one small hitch
I have to be back in heaven
before first light
So c'mon baby,
get your coat, let's go
quick.

A wonderful fantasy poem I am reading after a long-time...and abracadabra a script like this one is deserved only by you:-)

doesn't have quite enough substance to sustain that many more entries, but this one is still a rip-roaring ride, packed with a surreal mix of humour, dark undertones and atheistic bitterness. I especially enjoyed the notion of God running heaven 'like a harem'.

I'm touched by your concern, dear Jack - who knows what will fall from heaven next (or not). I must say I find it enjoyable poking the church in the eye on occasion -for me it's the cold dish of revenge. But I appreciate your feedback and comments.
