Notes About The Poem

Hellboy Sixth Scale Collectible Figure by Hot Toys | Sideshow Collectibles

A Hellboy Triolet

Red-skinned with horns, a tail, and cloven feet -
Hellboy, oh Hellboy, you’re really not bad.
Evil in the world you help to defeat.
Hellboy, oh Hellboy, you’re really not bad.
Your humor’s great and I think you are neat.
Tragic that you lost your adopted dad.
Red-skinned with horns, a tail and cloven feet -
Hellboy, oh Hellboy, you’re really not bad.

Congrats on your winner. This is a scary poster. If this is promoting Satan, it would scare Hades right out of most people. Now, when he comes with blue eyes and blue jeans then that is something else entirely. Way to go with this win. Sara

Congratulations on your 1st place win in the contest. Not sure who Hell boy is but sounds like a Satanic creature. Cheers, Paulette

I have no idea who Hellboy is or what he is all about, but I gather you have described him well, Andrea. Good luck in Liguori's contest.
