Analysis of Hell
I am not entirely certain
that I believe in the place they call hell.
But let’s just for one moment suppose
that I do believe in such a place.
I think that I’d choose eternity in hell
over the other place.
On one condition:
The devil would have to supply marshmallows.
Well actually all of the fixings
to make never-ending s’mores.
It would not be so bad then.
Would it?
I can see myself now.
Sitting around a blazing fire all day
making s’mores with some of the most interesting people
to have ever walked the planet.
