Please don't anyone get heavy about this. It was written, and I hope it will be read, with a sense of whimsy. Satan meets Dr. Seuss. Evil exuded a mournful sigh at the way it's been treated these days It's more concerned than you can imagine about its poor, tarnished image, it says. "First off, let's get this whole 'witch' business straight I'm rather disturbed by this one thing I got a *good* rap with those witches, you know, compared to the Church. Is that something? Next, while I'm on it, the Church thing, you see --well I didn't start off to recruit them but the religions all seemed to be ugly inside so I took them all in. Well, it suits them. Third, there's the thing with world hunger I hear myself blamed for this often It wasn't that way, before man was invented-- and then rich governments never do soften. And the news, ah the news. Are you seeing a pattern? Yeah, I know, I just seem to be spreading. But they talk about stuff like it's all so important and don't see where the world, here, is heading. Are you catching my drift? Look, I know, I have heard about "devils" and "demons" and "horny" stuff Some person came up with that too long ago-- and now I can't shake all that corny stuff. It seems it's a scapegoat way to avoid me or blame all this stuff, here, on others but I have to object, Man, you sure have your gall and I'd end it right now, if I had my 'druthers. There seems to be quite a distinction between Goodness and Me, have you caught it? But it never was so before you came along 'Cause the dinosaurs-- they never bought it. While we're talking, I'll ask for a little vacation, and --phew!-- I sure hope you can dig it-- See, I've had a whole lot of business these days with the racists and zealots and beaters and bigots. *sighing* Well *that* is a load off my chest, I must say-- You understand? Oh well, you tried to. As long as I've gotten to say my peace-- Now I'm going back home-- excuse me, that's inside you. [This message has been edited by Portia (edited 07-26-2000).] |

Excellent! Can't think of anything else to say. I'm afraid a Chinese blubber nut has dissolved and expanded its jelly fibres throughout my brain today. Must be all that rain! Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

Sympathy for the devil, I love it. And all the comments so true, while said in a humorous way. Perfect. |
