Devils Dance in the Woods

Devils dance in the woods

But I camp in the desert

With water.

Monsters strode from the closet

But I dreamed them away

With books.

Demons stole the food

I showed them my claws

And made them cook.

Evil lurked in the lake

While I stood on the shore

Averting my eyes.

Love ran away

So I sent it a love note

In a bottle.

Happiness drowned in quicksand

But I hid a piece

In ice-cream.

Lions ate the bones of friends

I write about before

Those teeth took.

Hell burned in far off places

Yet I had glitter

And stickers.

Robbers took the money

But I have

A gold card.

Death torched the fields

Missing my pot

Of daisies.

Pestilence bit little children

I hid mine among

The bluebonnets.

Hope went extinct from global warming

Except in my museum.

It's air-conditioned.

The sun went supernova

I picked a star

We danced.

All politicians were abducted by aliens

I appointed my dog

King of the world.

Music got wiped by an EMP

Now my ipod is 

The world's DJ.

(I hope you like Queen.)
