Under New Management

The Devil got the sack last week He’s feeling at a loss For several thousand years now He’s been in charge, the boss The new man’s changing everything Hired a whole new team The place is so much nicer A more relaxed regime Red hot pokers up the **** De rigueur, they are not Only those that ask, will get A poker up their bot There’s been a change of fragrance too Well, sulphurs so outré Seems Lily of the valley Is the order of the day We’re getting leather sofas, which Could well be here quite soon And a squad of decorators Working hard in every room Now they’ve fixed the air conditioner It’s behaving as it should Hell is rather pleasant In fact it’s jolly good So when you pop your clogs And you’re deciding where to go Forget the trip to Heaven It’s much better down below

Dare I venture a guess at who might be the new "boss"? I can think of an option or two. Haha! Hugs, Donna
