The Devil

The Devil stopped to visit
last night in a dream
He was not alone
Lucifer and Beelzebub
came along too

I was not afraid
They looked odd
Satan had a bushy tail
Lucifer had been drinking
Beelzebub drooled

They would not speak
They kept hissing
I took him by his fangs
Stuck them in Luci’s ear
Kicked the Bub downstairs

They won’t be coming back

Hello Mr Saaka, There is a simile here almost of how easy it could be to repel satan, and yet and yet..' i hark back to your other write on the breeze becoming a whirlwind, as humans we are so suceptible to our inflated self-worth, and the teaching that there is no such an entity that we are often unable to deal in this way with a spritual attack, I wonder how many out there of Seasoned years would agree there has been no satanic medling in their walk on this earth.' Well done on this one.'

I've read several of your writings. This is the first "humorous" one I've found. Maybe it wasn't meant to be but struck me that way. Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck
