Devil In Da' Skies

“Hello, January.”

“Hello, David.  Why do you shiver so?”

“Because, January, you’re the devil in disguise.”

“If you’re in a deep freeze, David, then I’m not hiding anything.”

“In that case, January, you are the devil in da’ skies.”

“Well, David, if July is the heaven above, then you do the math.”

“January, I just wanted you to know that you’re the devil to dis’ guy.”

“Thank you, David.  It’s so nice to get a chilling compliment from you.”
