The Doorbell Rings
Who Could It Be ?
I am alone late at night
Only my two cats and me
I am sitting here typing on the computer and all of a sudden
Both cats went frantic from the noise they heard
I got up slowly shocked and surprised
As I looked out the back door
Are sensor light hadn't gone on
I looked out again and could not see anything
Then a shadow in the darkness gave a flicker of light
A soft voice spoke
I am the ghost of the heavens to take you away
What do you mean as I got a little choked up ?
Your time is up
But I still don't understand ?
This is the end of the line
This is your final curtain call
Thats all folks
This has to be some kind of practical joke
Come on we don't have all night you know
I'm being kind lets get a move on
I can't be late
What if I don't go
Do you really want to try my patience
Haven't I been nice enough
How would you like someone doing it to you
I didn't sneak in the middle of the night
And wake you in the middle of a dream or something
I didn't make you scream in pain
I didn't make you end up in a car crash with your body all mangled
Its not like you have to pack a bag or anything
Just put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking across the flooooooor......
Just put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking through that dooooorr.......
Well don't I get to say good bye to the ones I love
I think you have been watching too much of the ghost whisper on t.v.
I new as soon as they put that on t.v. there was going to be trouble
It was so much better back in the day when Michael Landon played in Highway To Heaven
At least then I just said come and people would line up like sheep
They would follow
No questions asked
He made it easy for us
Now they question everything thanks to Forensic Files
What are you looking for now ?
I can't believe you want to put your sneakers on
I got it
When you get where you are going
You want to go for a run
I thought this job was going to be easy
Your number was pulled and here I am
So when your time is up you can go the easy way or the hard way
But either way your going
I will give other people fair warning
Live each day as if it was your last
Because one day you will be right
And hope and pray you get me
Because others like to have more fun
They like to see blood and guts and lots of struggling
Even some ghosts have a sick sense of humor
So I am on my merry way
Where I stop only the dead will know
By then they won't have anytime to change
Keep moving keep moving and no we dont have time to stop for a cup of joe
