Happy Landing .. Religion the Hard Way

​Fluffed carpet of clouds was substantial
seemingly made for strolling upon
I snapped a photo and sent it
transgressing rules of the plane I was on

My Son replied quite quickly
"Looks like you could walk on them"
and who am I to argue
so I immediately acted on a whim

Amazing how easy the door popped up
even though we were quite high
one step was all it took me
to know I could really fly

Soft puffy floor came rushing
faster than I expected
screams of my soul began gushing
sharing this mind infected

I plummeted through the atmosphere
white fluff failed to slow me
realizing my time was near
I started gettin' Holy

"Oh God" I prayed "save this fool"
after all, it was His illusion
"I'll be good this time, just show me the light"
I screamed in wild confusion

He did it .. He spared my life
He gave me another pass
I viewed the light of a perfect sky
.. with a church steeple up my ass

Funny poem with a 'to the point' ending! A visit to the gastroenterologist might be in order ... Thanks for this light hearted moment. Best wishes!

Cynthia, I'm happy you enjoyed this one .. guess it wouldn't hurt if the gastroenterologist was also a man of the cloth!

Gracias, Merci, Mahalo!

No doubt a man of the cloth would be needed, but I was hoping for a miracle because I had "grown fond" of this person, within a few seconds, who acted "on a whim".
