dirt on the welcome mat

There aren’t pearly gates,

Just one large shiny metal fence,

Padlocked and guarded

With a “No Trespassing” sign.

Rivers run deep with icy sweet tea,

Streets aren’t paved at all.

The gold is saved for

Sunsets and fishing hooks.

Trails through the woods

Lead to endless grassy pastures

Where mashed potato clouds

Drip gravy, and buttered biscuits

Fall like manna from the sky.
