Go Outside And Play Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Mommy?

'Yes. What is it? '

When the minister told the people talking,
During his sermon...
To shut the hell up.
What side of heaven is hell?
And why didn't he say...
Shut the heaven up?

'There are some demons,
Who need to be reminded where they are.'

OH.
So is that why you tell me,
To sit quietly and learn?
And...
Demons go to our church?

'Honey...
Go outside and play.
You giving mommy a headache.'

Well...
At least I'm glad you didn't tell me,
To go to hell.
