She is in The House (For Brenda)

Welcome to heaven, Whitney–
Said God.

Dazed and confused
All she could say was:
Where’s my bathrobe?

Ordinarily–Said God–
People arrive here in a casket.
But we were so anxious to get
Such a beautiful singer up here.
Do you recognize your
Pearl-inlaid bathtub?


Nonsense–Said Whitney–
You only wanted to see me naked!

Trey Cool–Said God–
We love smart women up here, Ms. Houston.

Godette (also known as "Mrs. God") applauded.

Then
So did everyone else.

Cheers of Joy
resounded throughout heaven.

    Miss Houston is not the Whitney who invented the cotton gin. That was Eli. And Whitney Houston never used cotton gin. She preferred Gilbeys–with a twist of lemon.

    Thanks for waiting eight months before posting the word play but
    Gilbeys with a twist of lemon is a sure sign of intelligence, especially when Whitney Houston's chauffeur drank only Diet Coke, straight up.
