This is unique and well-written quirky and humorous as well. My view of heaven is different. If you believe in the finished work on the cross and have Jesus in your heart. you go to heaven hell is for the devil and his demons and unbelievers. No second chances. You are an interesting writer, just hope you will consider making your words a little bigger in the advanced editor, it's hard to read the small print. All the best, Laura

    Thanks, Laura. I tried the advanced editor and had no luck. I'll try again.

    It can be a bit tricky but it is worth it it took we awhile to understand it.

This is terrific, I love it. It is so funny and you gave me my chuckle for the day. I enjoy these rhyming poems as they are so much easier and fun to read. I see this is a contest entry so I wish you all the luck in the world. It should do wonderful.

A very clever post, a real parody, with excellent wit sprinkled throughout. Poor old Patrick, even the devil doesn't want him - I though he might be sent back to his wife. Very humorous, and well written. Smooth flow and metre, and the rhyme is great too. Best wishes for your entry. A win for Patrick would be something nice for him!

Brilliant! Wickedly witty parody on God and the Devil negotiating as to trading tenants of Heaven and Hell. I recall your other delightful ditties about Patrick--this is a worthy addition to the priceless collection. I peg this as a winner.

This is hilarious and very creative. I never would have thought of the devil and God having a conversation, and on a phone, no less. Just when I thought I'd read every kind of subject, you write something totally different. I laughed several times. This sounds like a winner. I wish you the best in the contest.

That was brilliant!! And the winner of the contest, I'm sure. I'm sure God has a sense of humour and would love this if He gets to read it. The poem flows so well, I didn't miss a beat reading it aloud to my husband. It was just such plain, innocent fun and very enjoyable. Well done! Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

    Thanks, Sandra. I did run this by God before I sent it in.

I was thinking maybe the devil was going to ask God to resurrect dear Patrick and send him back to his wife.

Paul, I seldom laugh out loud when reading, but I did with this one. I love Patrick, too. He is quite the character; adorable in a way.

There is no way I could tell you my favorite stanza; each stanza was just layer upon layer of excellence, creativity, humor and entertainment. Please keep Patrick coming back :)

Paul,
This story flows will with the abcb rhyme scheme.
This guy sounds like a good person to be in Hell. It is good that he gets on the Satan's nerves. At least something should make his life harder. I like how the both use Hell in there vocabulary. Something you wouldn't think from God. I also like the fact he is trying to show this guy's positives, in that he can play softball well.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

    Thanks, Joan. Satan should have someone like this every now and then.

    No problem, Paul. I agree.

Well, this one is different.
Almost like a limerick, instead, incorporates faith.
I guess some will not smile, but I see your angle...just the lightness of being harms nobody.
Wishing you a good weekend.
