We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap,
and before we can say, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!"
Or, "This is a fine kettle of fish!"

the words that seemed omnipresent, as oxygen,
have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues
and our pens and our keyboards.

Poof, go the words of our youth,
the words we've left behind.
We blink, and they're gone.

Three nuns die and go to Heaven...

The nuns walk up to the Pearly Gates and
are greeted by St. Peter.

"Hello ladies. In order to get into Heaven
you have one final task. You all must answer
one question each to enter the
Holy Gates of Heaven."

The nuns each looked at each other
and nodded in agreement.

Nun #1 steps up preparing herself for the
question she has to answer for eternal life.

St. Peter asks the first nun,
"Who was the first man on the earth?"

Nun #1 answers,
"Adam, of course."

Bells rang, Angels sang,
and the gates of Heaven open.

She walks through and they close behind her.

Nun #2 steps up and says,
"Ok, I am ready."

St. Peter asks,
"Who was the first woman on earth?"

Nun #2 hides a small chuckle,
in disbelief of the simple question,
"Eve was the first woman on the earth."

Bells rang, Angels sang,
and the gates of Heaven open.

She passes through the gates and they close.

Nun #3 prepared herself for the question
to follow her sisters to everlasting life.

St. Peter cleared his throat and asks,
"What was Eve's first thought the first time
she saw Adam naked?"

Nun #3 pauses.
Thinks for a while.

Perplexed, she thinks out loud,
"Hmmm, that's a hard one..."

The Bells rang, Angels sang,
and the gates of Heaven open.
