When I Go To Hell


When I go to hell, I'll hope it's wintery cold
It's usually hot there, so I've been told
When hell freezes over, I'll try to arrive
For I prefer freezing to burning alive

I hope that old devil Satan will accommodate me
With tenderized steaks and flasks of Chablis
Desert of ice-cream, butter pecan
A very firm mattress to sleep and dream on

If this can't be arranged, I'll refuse to stay
No sense in staying if I can't live my way
Back to earth I'll come for forever and then
My hellish days on Earth will start over again

Steaks, chablis and icecream, tempting! Great little piece as always, I liked the way it was written, with no definite ending, leaving it open for you to come and haunt the earth again!
