Leaving Millions Behind

Television lost an icon
Back in twenty sixteen--
Someone who enjoyed being
A TV network queen.

Televangelist Jan Crouch
Left this world in May.
I wonder if she's hobnobbing now
With dear Tammy Faye--

The two together, hoping to be
In somebody's good graces,
With streaks of tears and makeup flowing
Down their shiny faces.

I doubt Jan has her pink-tinged
Cotton candy wigs
And scarlet gowns with puffy sleeves
And other fancy digs.

She won't need her private jet
Or homes in numerous states
Or millions a year in income if she's
Behind the pearly gates.

Hundreds of thousands in meal expenses
Won't do her much good
Wherever she has ended up,
In all likelihood.

Neither will her Newport Beach
Mansion serve her now.
(Did Paul leave her his Bentley when
He took his final bow?)

She also had to leave behind
Her doggies--sad to see--
And THEIR hundred thousand dollar
Luxury RV.

I guess we should be happy that
For a couple of generations
She could get enjoyment from
Contributors' donations.
