I ran to
the devil
And the
devil did sing
Take this
pen
Sign
On the dotted line
So I took
that pen
And I
signed my name
Now nothing
will ever be the same
I asked for
peace
And he gave
me blood
For the
dead don't fight
And they do
not hold a grudge.
I asked for
money
And I asked
for fame
Now I don't
want either
I've
lost far more than I gained
I ran to
the devil
and the
devil did sing
take this
pen and this parchment fine
and sign in blood on the dotted line
So I took
that pen
And I
signed my name
Now nothing
will ever be the same
I asked for
jewels
And he gave
me those
But in the
land where he dug them
Nothing
ever grows
I asked for
appliances
More than
my share
Now my
house is flooded
I can
hardly breathe the air
So I ran to
the devil
and the
devil did sing
take this
pen and this parchment fine
sign your
name in blood right here
So I took
that pen
And crossed out my name
Surely this time
Things wont be the same
Don't play
with the devil
He doesn't
care enough
Take your
soul
And invest
in other stuff
Don't sign
your name
On the
dotted line
For dancing
with the devil
It will get
you every time
Don't sing
to the devil
With the
devil don't dance
Take your
soul
While you
still have the chance
Don't sign
your name
On that
dotted line
For dancing
with the devil
It will get
you every time
Yes,
dancing with the devil
will get
you every time.

Alright so it's not a "real" poem this week, just a bit of fun. I haven't actually tried it with the music yet. Must have a go sometime to see how close it is. :)
For more poems, why don't you check out the Tuesday Blog? There's always a poem up for the week, and some fantastic award winning poets on the side bar to check out.
Have a great week.
