The devil sets the table every day A huge feast of the best foods you can imagine Steak and lobster Chicken breasts and French fries covered in cheese and bacon Pizza with sausage, pepperoni, green olives and mushrooms Cheese burgers and tacos Chinese food and barbeque ribs All of this and more More than anyone could eat Only You have to use a four foot long fork Only this utensil can be used to eat The devil laughs at the people He laughs at them starving in front of all the food they could ever want In heaven the same feast is prepared every day The same rule applies You have to use a four foot long fork Everyone gets plenty to eat Because they have learned to feed each other Just like they did when they were alive The people in hell only helped themselves when they were alive It would never dawn on them to feed each other That is their curse And that is why they are in hell

About this poem:
I was watching Ms. Scrooge and heard this story told by a preacher. It is a retelling of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. My favorite retelling of this story is Bill Murray's Scrooge.
Great example of helping one another instead of oneself. Everyone is part of Christ's body - no one person more important then the other and the strong are suppose to help the weak. For each person has a special purpose in the body of Christ. Thanks Mc!
