You'll be greeted
by a nice cup of coffee
when you get to heaven
and strains of angelic harmony.
But wouldn't you be devastated
if they only serve decaffeinated
while from the percolators of hell
your soul was assaulted
by Satan's fresh espresso smell?

ReplyDeleteI am not a big coffee lover, so probably might not like the welcome drink that much :-). However i prefer heaven to hell any day :-)
ReplyDeleteespresso rocks anytime.. And Satan you rock too. Well as heaven and hell are nowhere but right here, choose ur coffee wisely ;)
ReplyDeleteDepends on whether you like espresso. Its the choice that makes the difference. Red pill anyone?
