THE DEVILS’ JUBILEE ~ R. David Fulcher

The end was near for me you see
It was unlikely the operating table
Could ease my arteries
From a fast food sea

Code blue the nurses screamed!
As I watched from outside of my body
Like a scene on TV

Then I descended
Through earth, magma and mantle,
To a party of devils that awaited me
Not one seemed eager to receive me
As if they had gotten word from above
What a pain in the ass I could be!

Then the trumpet of the angel Gabriel
Sounded
And I was pulled back
By electric paddles
Back to our world so absurd

But before I regained consciousness
I could see
The devils below having such a jubilee!
They slammed down their pitchforks
And snapped their forked tails with sparks

I knew in that moment
They enjoyed a small win
To avoid taking on me
And my soul full of sin
