CCLXXV - Is that all there is?

.
Carry-On Tuesday had the prompt:
"Is that all there is?"


Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?
He said with dismay.
I had such high hopes
And have come a long way.

Is that all there is?
Just a harp and some wings?
Dressed up in nighties
While everyone sings?

Is that all there is?
What is there to do?
The Muslims at least
Get a virgin or two.

Is that all there is?
Death is too much:
Watch from above
But not able to touch.

Is that all there is?
I’ve lived a good life
Only to watch the milkman
In bed with my wife.

Is that all there is?
Eternity is a long, boring spell,
Is there some way to buy
A day-pass to Hell?

  2. A great poem dear J Cosmo, I think Hell would be far too hot, perhaps a day-pass or two for some exotic holiday destination.

  3. Not sure about those day passes. It's probably possible to get a one way ticket to hell though.

  4. This made me smile! I will pass on a day trip though. Wouldn't want to singe my hair in the flames. LOL.
