The Devil Pops In
I’m in the Ram for the meat raffle
When Jinxy pops in.
He slings the door back on its iron hinges.
‘Put your eyes back in your head,’ he says.
I’m not the Devil.
Do you think I have a scaly tail?
Come here to me man. I’m not the Devil,
But kiss my nipple. Ah, I’m only joking.
Get off your stool and let me put my boots up.
The old club foot is sore.
I’ve been walking the world
For centuries.
Let’s have a drink. Here take this. Get it down you.
I paid for it. So, now kiss my nipple,
For I’m the Devil.’
