Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Staircase To ...

A grand spiral staircase up for sale,

Up to heaven the seller said.

Good thing to own, came that detail

Down the road when I would be dead.

I looked up through the spiraling high

As I could see, it seemed to go

Upward forever, and so I

Was about ready to say no.

That's when the seller in tone odd,

In booming voice said, "Thou shalt not"

"Deny this deal," sounded like God.

I picked out credit card and bought.

I found out, but will never tell,

I bought a staircase up to hell.
