The Argument

by Phil Smith
Email: pvbsmi@essex.ac.uk



A Goblin, a Witch, a Werewolf, a Devil
Were wondering about which was most wicked;
For fifteen long nights, they abated their revels
While they argued and squabbled and bickered.

"I'm the most vicious!", the Goblin said
"For I steal babies and leave them for dead!"
But yet the others had to disagree,
And the Witch was the first to decree

"You're wrong, goblin" the Witch did groan,
"For my curses make strong men weep and moan!"
But still Devil and Werewolf were not convinced,
So up stood Devil, in a sulphurous mist.

The Devil made it clear he was not impressed,
"I'm evil! Want proof? Just look at the possessed!"
And the others thought of that, and had almost conceded
But the Werewolf was far from defeated.

The Werewolf got up, and said, "Get real!"
While the Devil said, "Lycanthropy's no big deal!"
The Werewolf replied, "I beg your pardon?
"I'm talking about burying his bones in the garden!"
