Hell!
\nby cricketjeff on December 19, 2009.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nI thought our guide had made a strange mistake
\nA cricket match with Hobbs and Grace not out
\nWith food and champagne there for all to take
\nIt’s paradise without the slightest doubt.<\/p>\n
The scoring mounts, the caviare is free
\nThe weather’s fine, the crowd are well behaved
\nNo suffering around for me to see
\nHave all the punishments for sin been waived?<\/p>\n
Just wait, our guide explains, you’ll understand
\nWe sit and watch the progress of the game
\nEach batsman picks the bowling from the hand
\nAnd every perfect shot is just the same<\/p>\n
No flaws at all could be the greatest flaw
\nIn Hell pure paradise becomes a bore.<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nI have no belief in a heaven or a hell, but if I did, I can think of nothing
\nworse than pure unrelenting perfection. Life is overcoming problems, finding
\nnew answers, change, the chance to be wrong.
\nI don’t want to be hurt, but if there isn’t any chance of that, where is the
\nsatisfaction?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
