Me and the devil,
That satanic guy and I,
Went to the bathroom
So he could therein cry.
Tried to console him, did I.
I know, you must be asking,
“What the hell—why?”
It’s because he’s blind,
And now afraid to die!
You see, I stole his horn,
Poked the fucker in his eye,
Then took the other cone
And blinded him—didn’t try.
Angry, he let out a howl,
One that I didn’t really buy.
Something about my location—
It wasn’t really even a lie—
That I lived below the abyss;
It wasn’t anything to deny.
“Mr. Mephistopheles, please
It’s true that I cannot fly,
And forever upward to hell
Will be my gaze,” says I;
“And, as awful as that might be,
“You will be forever looking
“Upward to gaze upon little ol’ me.”

Dat so, Reverend? You musta not actually played with him or you'd not speak so saucily, methinks. He's a character to be reckoned with according to the Scriptures, nor is jocularity effective. Cute and sassy, excellently rendered with gorgeous imagery and a curiously triumphant poignancy which belies itself.
Haha, Missyβ¦you know me, just having a bit of fun throwing sass at the devil. Also, quite the Biblical thing to do! π€£ Besides, Jesus made it clear, Satanβs a tool. π€£ No worries, he knows his place. π Appreciate your thoughtful read and support, as always, my friend. Much love. ππ€ͺ ππͺπ₯π
Brilliant write...
Thank you so much, Priya! Glad it delivered! ππͺπ₯π
You are most welcome !
So youβre the devil below the devil? Thatβs next-level. I guess a known devil is better than an unknown one. Lol π
For sure! Lol! Well, Iβm the devil above him. I really feel for his view! π€£ All jokes, aside, thank you dearest, Salvia! Iβm glad you caught the dark humor here. All a little bit oβ fun at the devilβs expense. βBout time, right? ππ€ͺ ππͺπ₯π
Oh, so now you're the devil above him? That's a bold move!ππ I'm not sure if i should be impressed or terrified. Either way i can't wait to see what kind of infernal wordplay you come up with next! π₯π
π€£ You rock, Salvia!
The devil below the devil, now we are getting to the bottom of the truth, great write, enjoyed the read
I really feel for the olβ blokeβs view! π€£ Thank you, so much! Glad you caught the humor and enjoyed it! No sympathy for the devil here. π€£π Have a great evening, friend! ππͺπ₯π
You are very welcome
LOL oh yes, did you know that Dante Alighieri really enjoyed the Devil.
That satanic guy and I,
Went to the bathroom
So he could therein cry.
Tried to console him, did I.
I know, you must be asking,
βWhat the hellβwhy?β
Itβs because heβs blind,
And now afraid to die!
You see, I stole his horn,
Poked the fucker in his eye,
I loooove this. πΉ
Haha! Yes. And to Danteβs credit, he did have whole hell of a lot of fun! π€© Ahβ¦poets! So excited that you enjoyed the dark humor in this, dearest Teddy! π Youβre presence and friendship, as well as your wonderful sense humor, are so very much appreciated, dear poet! πΉ ππͺπ₯π

Yesss! A guy who like some devilish sass! You do rock, Nev! Just going to say it here...outward like! Thank you so much, my dear friend!!! ππͺπ₯π
Devil got roasted in rhyme β love the twisted humor here.
Never thought Iβd feel bad for the devil until now. This is wickedly good.
Yes. He's been deserving one. I figured since he does most of the roasting, I'd give him a taste of his own medicine! π€£ Glad you enjoyed it, my friend! ππͺπ₯π
Dear, Tristan,
A subterranean encounter with the prince of hell and little ol' you. Little did he know who he was up against. Onwards and upwards to hell and how awfully strange that may sound - such is life. Great to see you are on a roll again.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.
Onwards and upwards indeed, my friend. Glad you got the humor and message and it is good to be back on one! π€ͺππ Thank you so much, Tony! ππͺπ₯π
Wow. What a ride! Absolutely love your style. Keep up the write
Much peace and respect
