Flat Iron

[Mark A Becker]

Hey Tim, I love the sentiment!

It hits with more punch if I leave out some the lines in the middle

This is no way to run the Hereafter,
to send a guy back
to face a blindfolded firing squad  funny as hell !
or another lifetime’s delay  equally humorous
and the funny thing is
it’s not even the appointed time this actually is a funny thing
for the weeding out to begin.

Weeding out the hereafter! Love the humour in this piece! Even the title suggests that something, someone, needs straightening out. Made my day, brother.

"while we jabber non-stop" implies that you are a citizen who may also sit on the Great Council of the Hereafter. 
I didn't need that line, or the two before it. Those three lines muddied it, for me.  Without those lines it strongly implies that you are "the guy", and you're failing to plead your case, and are about to be sentenced to life, again. To me, it's much funnier that way.
