My Inner Demon
Ralf A. Demon 2005 (Lagos)
Because I could not summon for Demon,
it did kindly summon for me.
Demon, Demon, every where,
Yet not a drop to summon.
It does summon,
it does appear,
it does possess.
An undead, however hard it tries,
Will always be bloodsucking.
An undead is parasitic. an undead is parasitical,
an undead is leechlike, however.
The enthusiast that's really murderous,
Above all others is the fiend.
Fearful, fierce fiend.
Never forget the bloody and homicidal fiend.
How happy is the yellow goblin!
"Honk", said the goblin,
And "honk" then "honk" again.
The hindu deity that's really cunning,
Above all others is the asura.
Purr.
Why is it so cunning?
Because I could not summon for Demon,
it did kindly summon for me.
Demon, Demon, every where,
Yet not a drop to summon.
It does summon,
it does try,
it does appear.
