Devil Rhymes #2
By Alexandra Seidel
Devil, Devil in the well
sings of peaches! Custard! Hell!
Sweet devil with the cloven hoof
c'mon, let's rock All Heaven's roof!
Climb up the ladder, up the rungs
until you screech delight in tongues!
One, two, three, four,
who's first a-knocking on Heaven's door?
Makes me wonder why there's not a tradition of rhymes about the devil. Maybe there should be. Seems the natural voice for talking about old scratch.
