Chuck Berry, Chuck Barris
did they plan to die
the very same week?
Imagine the confusion in heaven
where everyone sits around
watching The Dating Game
as “You Never Can Tell” blasts
out of every cherub’s transistor.
Barris running numbers, Berry
stringing guitars for saints,
everyone swapping stories
about one Chuck or the other,
both of whom are madly in love
with the same twisted angel
