Death has been incredibly busy

I was informed

Delivery by another carrier

To be arranged

Would I mind waiting?

Not exactly ideal.

You would expect better service

From any omnipotent being

Expecting a rush

In the distribution section of operations.

Logistical snafu

The demon shrugged

If you end up in the wrong place

Tough.

Not my area.

Was it wrong of me to want more

For a life well lived?

Complaints are accepted via prayer.

Wait until your number’s called 

And take a seat in Purgatory.
