"Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here!"<br>
So reads the gate of Hell,<br>
I went to find out for myself,<br>
And 'tis of this I tell.<br>
I went in the gate, I paid my fare,<br>
And this is what I saw,<br>
Some groups and cliques and factions, too,<br>
And no one seemed ready to thaw.<br>
I went among (and was ignored)<br>
All groups that I could see,<br>
And of them all, these varied groups,<br>
NO ONE talked to me.<br>
But then I found a tiny group,<br>
That stood out like the sun,<br>
This group you see (at least I thought)<br>
Was the only one having fun.<br>
So I went to the group and started to talk,<br>
And made a lot of friends,<br>
No factions here, we had some fun,<br>
At least until the end.<br>
Cause in came a devil with all of his hordes,<br>
And began to yell on the spot,<br>
"Get out", he screamed,"Get out of here,<br>
Belong, hey, you do not!"<br>
So we left and were mad (so I can say)<br>
Until we got to the gate,<br>
For met there we were by an angel who said,<br>
"Hurry, hurry, you're late!"<br>
We followed him until he stopped,<br>
"We're here", he said,"Get off the bus."<br>
'Twas then we saw them pearly gates,<br>
And knew that Heaven was for us.<br>
No snobs, no cheaters, no evildoers,<br>
We've got those problems licked.<br>
We got into Heaven (or so they said)<br>
By forming not a clique.<br>
So remember this, you snobs out there,<br>
No cliques in Heaven are,<br>
But at least in Hell (for you that is)<br>
That party's always there!<br>
