They were standing outside the gaping doorway.
‘Is this right?’ asked Mike. ‘She calls her new apartment a piece of paradise. This is hardly the Golden Gate!’
‘It’s the address on the invitation’ said Mitch.
‘The stairway to heaven’s supposed to be paved with gold’ chuckled Mike.
‘Mixed metaphor, mate!’
‘What? I’m the king of metaphors, Metafive some call me!’
Venturing inside, they started climbing.
‘The song says there’re four steps to heaven, not fifty-four’.
‘No Mike, three steps’.
Are you questioning my song knowledge? I’m known as the Musical Mastermind. Anyway, let’s knock-knock-knock on heaven’s door!
‘Welcome,’ said Angela.
‘Halo’, said Mitch.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Roger Bultot for the picture.

Very nice!
Thanks, Sadje.
You’re welcome 😉
Cute wordplay, esp. the “meta-five.” That’s apt to catch on. 🙂
I hope so! Cheers, Christine.
I love your wordplay. Well done as always.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. 🙂
I’m pleased you liked it, thanks, Sandee!
Laughing.
I’m not sure how many groans this deserves, so just help yourself to a handful or three!
That’s extremely generous of you!
Metafive!! 🙂 Very good Keith, thanks for the chuckle.
Thanks, Iain!

A strangely realistic conversation. Bet they found “heaven is a place on earth”.
I didn’t think of that one! Cheers Tannille.

Loved it Keith! Maybe that stairway is a ‘Ticket to Paradise’.
It could well be! Thanks so much.
Very good and entertaining Keith!

What a fun take on the prompt. I love that you’ve called their hostess Angela!
I thought it appropriate! Thanks Penny.
Very droll, all power to your imagination.

Love the wordplay, especially “metafive”! Nicely done.
I’m pleased! Thanks Patricia.
This was fun!
Thanks Fatima!
This was a lot of fun…I wondered what would have happened if Led Zeppelin had been the theme, of course it ended with Bob Dylan. After reading your theme for A to Z, it’s in my brain! 🙂
That’s a thought! Cheers, Sascha.
What a fun little story. Thank you.
