Frightening
Doggerel
What
the hell? hadephobia
He wasn’t feeling
very well—
And feared
he was about to die.
But even
more: He thought of hell
(He was,
you’ll see, that kind of guy).
The
thought of burning frightened him.
The smell
of sulphur made him sick.
He also
knew his brother Jim
Would be
there too—and pretty quick.
He didn’t
like Jim—not at all.
The fear
of Satan froze his heart.
(The
thought of going made him bawl.)
Would
demons eat him a la carte?
And so he
tried another tack—
He’d
really give it all he could.
He stored
his evil out in back
And
thought he'd try just being good.
