Tale Of The Demon's Dance

aye! ye sing
   nay dance! 
demanded
o' the demon
in brighten'd tar
but wizen'd burr
gave sudden slip
did gape ‘n gash
‘pon cracken'd jar
fell he into a
  midden pit
so ran the blood
   ‘n blood
     did pour
‘n flood the pit
until it seep'd
to earthen soil
return ‘n weep'd
back to crop
o' hopeless toil
   renew! 
      renewed! 
sent demon blood
from whence
  it came 
    this sermon
       told



tar = Tarpauline coat
midden pit = pit for domestic waste
