   Do Dogs Go to Heaven?

   If dogs do, does also the dog doo-doo,   
   the barking all night, and if the dogs   
   go to paradise, why not the mosquitoes,   
   chiggers and fleas, if you please?   
      
   Can you walk down those streets paved   
   with gold without getting your leg humped   
   by a passing Cocker Spaniel?   
      
   What's your idea of heaven?   
      
   Got to be a place where no dogs bark,   
   No mosquitoes whine and sting--if you   
   may know what Yeshua of Nazareth said,   
   as to such questions as these?   
      
   To paraphrase just a bit, it went like,   
   "Get a clue! Do you think your marriages   
   continue on into paradise? You should ask   
   whether the brother of a man that died,   
   who had married his widow, is headed for   
   Hell up in paradise, where people should   
   ask, "Which husband will be her's here?"   
      
   In heaven, he said, men and women will be   
   as angels, like stingless mosquitoes,   
   flying about on wings that do not whine,   
   but sing in harmony with the song of dogs   
   that do not bark or bite or hump a leg   
   along the golden streets of paradise.   
   Every man will be husband to every woman,   
   Woman will be wife to every man, and none   
   more or less desirable than the rest.   
      
   "Get a clue!" To them he said. There are no   
   marriages or engagements in heaven. Men   
   are no longer husbands and dogs don't bark,   
   mosquitoes don't sting, there are no wings   
   to whine, but only to sing as a million tuned   
   strings, like the glorious ring of a Hindu's   
   sitar or sarod, forming the orchestra for   
   the voice of God who sounds just like James   
   Brown!!!!   
      
   Sounds like James, backed by the Supremes,   
   for Eternity: "I Feel Good! Just Like I knew   
   I would. I feeeeeel nice! Just like sugar and   
   Spice. I got you! In paradise."
