They’ve taken away the steps
the ones leading to the first floor
where JB HiFi is
cordoned off ‘coz of covid
the ones I climbed for practice
in case I made The Great Wall
but there are other steps
to keep in mind
that Stairway To Heaven
for instance
the one we all have to climb
to get to our Heavenly home
but if the climb takes as long
as the eight minutes of the song
we all might be in a spot of bother;
hopefully St. Peter has a rescue brigade
of angels on call
or a St, Bernard or two with a small barrel
of whisky around their necks
for those who didn’t practice often enough
on Earth
