Lucifer, Vamoose, Sir

The old Devil, his name is Lucifer When I see him, I tell him, 'Vamoose, Sir' -- The Devil grins his sly smile Pleads, 'Let me stay for a while' -- I chase him away with an ethnic slur

To paraphrase a song title - Why should the devil have all the good limericks?

To answer the title's question -- b/c he wasn't created in God's image.

Good to hear that someone has maintained her innocence! -- or else is tremendously hard-of-hearing! lol.

How about this for an ethnic slur for the devil? -- You, pathetic, putrid, Puritan piece of prune-pit pie, you! That'll get rid of him for a bit. lol. Thanks, Judy.
