By pressing keys galore
“The On-line Book Of Life” laid out
In detail’s what I saw
A list of names and dates and times
Of people heaven bound
I scanned the pages, skimmed the names
Until my own I found
I felt a deep and joyous mirth
That lasted but an hour
I glimpsed a name and knew a taste
Of something very sour
Ivor Konn from Darnel Drives
Car salesman slick and sleek
With smart black suit and brylcreemed hair
That snarf, that slime-ball sneak
I thought of all his dodgy deals
The death traps that he’d sold
The painted, polished, pristine car
That hid an engine old
He moved me with persuasive words
I parted with my cash
A week? A month? It wasn’t long
Before the fateful crash
His name, an aberration in
This list of noble folk
How could he be among the just?
This base, black-hearted bloke
The thought of heaven spent with him
Was more than I could bear
That he had made it on the list
Was really most unfair
There was a button on the left
With “edit” marked in blue
I then selected Ivor Konn
And wished the man “adieu”
A “User name” and “password” prompt
Appeared upon the screen
My mind a fog, an empty space
This hurdle I’d not seen
For user name I typed in “God”
For password I tried “lamb”
“Access denied” it said, and stayed
A tightly sealed clam
“Lord Jehovah”, “Ageless One”
“The First”, “The Last”, “The King”
“El Shaddai” and “The Counsellor”
“My God”, “My Everything”
I tried all combinations of
The names of God I knew
Of other tongues and languages
I tried more than a few
I could not score out Ivor Konn
Delete him from the list
I scorned the thought that he and I
In heav’n could coexist
A bright and sudden flashing of
A rainbow on my screen
Warned me I’d been spotted and
My hacking had been seen
“The fate of Ivor Konn, my child
Is mine and mine alone
Ivor has a place in heaven
Before my glorious throne”
“The date of his adoption
As my son is drawing near
The good news of the gospel is
A message he must hear”
“I’m sending you this afternoon
This message to impart
Before you go just let me pour
My love into your heart”
“See him, son, the way I do
This lost and broken soul
And bring him home to Me that I
Might mend and make him whole.”
