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”
