An English Adaptation of Mephistopheles' Song of the Flea From Faust
There was a king once reigning
Who carried a great, big flea—
And far from him complaining,
The flea filled the king with glee!
For to him that flea was dearer
Than even his only son,
And to make his preference clearer,

The Return of Faust
What secrets lurk in my mind,
What forces torment my soul?
Secrets of some sinister kind,
Forces of evil eyes, black as coal!

I can sense your pounding heart
And smell the sweat of your fear,
Lo! I say so in truth from the start
So you are forewarned, be clear.

I thirst...

A Plain Man's Look At Hamlet and Goethe's Faust
Hamlet's story 
is sad and gory.
From the start the outlook's bad.
The king, i.e. Hamlet's dad,
got bumped off by his loving brother,
who then had the nerve to wed Ham's mother.
One night Hamlet met his old man's ghost,
who said: "My son, while I here roast,

Faust
Faust and Fay went out to play all alone on autumn day,
in the barn the two would stray and muffle around in golden hay.
     Then appeared the Devil himself seeking souls for an empty shelf,
Who ye be faust then said, are...

Crimson Faust
Shattered thoughts pierce into the flesh of the souls betrayed
Wicked wounds forced beneath the crimson blade
Her last pain-staking wish to be taken under graceful Cherubic Wings
Will fall with Faust- A sacrifice to which no knowledge can be seen
Darkens descends with sickening pride
Wounds sting whilst they...

Trump Was a Faust
Trump Was A Faust

About Trump up we ere trying to roust.
When we had found him to be a Faust;
Looked in lake;
Found more fake,
News on fire put out when we doused.
