Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Just in Case

The ten commandments carved in stone,

Down from the mount, Moses did bring,

And bid by God that all be shown

For following as a good thing.

Since that occurred long, long ago,

Most humans have to some degree

Broken some commandments, and so

How relevant these rules still be?

Well since no one does know for sure

What happens to us when we die,

It might behoove each him and her

To tend to heed the ten - here's why.

Following commandments could seal fates

Of yes or no at the Pearly Gates.
