A poem I wrote recited by a very close freind of mine. Enjoy. 





How the Devil Got Pointed Ears
By Fred L. Taulbee Jr.


The Devil wore
A pompadour
You couldn’t really tell
It slooped and drooped
And fell in his face
In the sweaty pits of Hell

So, wigs he bought
And the first he thought
Reached high into the room
He got the feeling
It touched the ceiling
And swept it like a broom

The second wig which
The evil one wore
Trailed way far behind him
When he took a left turn
It started to burn
And the flames almost did blind him

So he bought instead
A hat for his head
To hide the hair he had
But the next day in Hades
All of the ladies
Were wearing the hat he had

Then his mother called
Said, “You’d look good bald!”
And came over with a set of shears
She snipped and nipped
And cut too much
And that’s how he got pointed ears.
