Dastardly the Deviant Demon
Dastardly the deviant demon
has been depressed and despondent.
Despite that, downstairs in his dank dungeon,
he decisively decided,
to devise a despicable design.
Departing from his dreary and dingy dwelling
with death and destruction drifting
through his deformed dome,
Dastardly drudged into the dire
decaying desert during the dismal day.
The determined and dangerously daring
Dastardly discovered the darling dame Daisy
in discerning distress-- deprived and desolate.
He didn’t dilly-dally with deficient details,
but dragged Daisy into his deplorable domicile.
Dizzy with delight, the dear dim dame
debated about her date with the dashing devil.
Dastardly disputed this deal and destroyed
her doomed desire, as droplets of her demise
dripped down from his daunting deep dagger.
The dying dame was dunked in his delicious drink
like a delectable drip-dropping donut
and directly, Dame Daisy was definitely dead.
And while demons don’t drown in drool,
Dastardly did-- and drove Daisy into deathless damnation.
