Devil

Saw the devil last night
By the moon's silvery light,
Horns, hoofs gleaming
Ever so bright,
Shook his long tail,
Cursed the whole world,
Gave a haunting wail,
I was frightened to death
And turned cold and pale,
Came home quite drunk
In utter confusion,
Seems my wife threw me out
Or was it just an illusion...
