He was trying to get away, but here came his cousin Phil
Phil was a gargoyle, and he had his sidekick Demon Dee.
Can’t you guys stay back there, away from me?

Hell no, Phil said. We can see the flames from your head.
We have people to roast, arrogant Demon Dee said.
So they stayed close to his shoulder and used his fire.
It made him mad and irritated, Sandkiller, the Devil's sire.

Be good to your cousins, his father, the devil did yell.

Who wants to go to heaven? Demon Dee demanded.
Sandkiller wanted to die; they were so underhanded!
