Friday Poem: "900#"

     900 #

I am on hold
Waiting for word
How long has it been
Long enough

God's telephone
Is always busy
No one ever
Picks up

Every few seconds
Chimes then voices
God loves you they say
For your patience

God forbid
He'd answer in person
Are the angels
On vacation

Bet you Satan
Has voice mail waitin'
