A Poem by    S. Allen Wilner    10/15/71

"It's all very well', said the novice To sit here rested, relaxed, Not a care in the 'world' (Using the term loosely). It's all very well, But I've been here over a year now And I'm tired of doing nothing-- It's not natural-- And it's very boring!

	The chief Spirit nodded his head He'd heard it all before-- Many times during his 10,000 years In the Here-After. Many times!
	'Look down there', the novice went on, There's Dad--growing old, With all the worries and cares Of raising a family And Mother--doing all she can, To keep the kids happy and well. 'Isn't there any way I can help them?'
	'Isn't there something I can do?' 'No", said the Spirit, 'I'm afraid not. All you can do is watch.' 'Well, I must say', grumbled the novice, 'That's a funny way to run Heaven!' The Spirit smiled, and replied, 'Who said this was Heaven?'
