The following was inspired by my mother. She told me how she and her siblings, as children, improvised the song "In the Sweet By and By" as follows:
In the sweet by and by,
Gimme some pie,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore,
Gimme some more.
PIE IN THE SKY
If life is like a great big pie,
One makes while here on earth,
How your pie is divided,
Will determine your own worth.
How big is the slice you've cut for work?
How much for play and tv?
Did you leave even a sliver for God?
And what about family?
If you want to be served some pie in the sky--
Oh what a heavenly prize--
Your pie here on earth will be your test;
Each slice will be judged by its size.
Time and love, thought and money,
Are ingredients each pie must take.
Follow God's Word as a recipe;
To do so is no piece of cake!
Ingredients are very important;
Measure carefully for your pie.
But if it matters not how you slice it,
It will in the sweet by and by.
