Great...great! Thanks. If you ever find the place where this first appeared, please tell me. I'd like to put it on my Freeper page.

Hi Frank..I first heard it in Bishop Fulton Sheen's "Live is Worth Living" audio series. The Bishop's talk where he mentions it was entitled "The Hell There Is"..(I think it was #47 or so in the series). He (and others) have attributed the poem to Herbert Trench, a victorian playwright. However, I also see others on the internet have attributed it to the poet Alfred J. Hough (same time period).
