from the ABC set Poems For Cyril

The last time I looked,
God had taken a holiday
and the Devil deputised.
The first time He asked
Nick had wanted overtime
but no-one was surprised.

The next time it happened,
Lucifer up and volunteered -
and Jehovah gave Satan his due.
The next time He asks,
Hob will make it permanent -
without an interview.
