The Road To Hell

A young demon stood at the crossroads
                Not knowing which way to go 
               “I need to go to Hell” he thought
               But the way I just don't know

                As he looked around a map he found
                Lying there on the floor
                He leaped for joy this demon boy 
                “Now I’ll get home once more”

                The map it showed the way to Heaven
                Clearly it was marked
                “That’s just the devils luck”
                The demon boy remarked
	
                Just then an Angel all in white
               Came strolling on his way
               “Kind sir show me the way to hell”
                He heard the demon say
	
                 The Angel paused and thought a while 
                 “I’m not sure that I know
                 But its paved with good intentions.
                 Maybe that’s the way to go

                 “I could show you the way to Heaven.
                 If that is what you wish
                 But if you want to know the road to hell
                 That's  a different kettle of fish”
