The Devil checks into a hotel,
An unread Gideons beside the bed,
The spine creaks apart ; away, the boards pull .
An unread Gideons beside the bed,
The spine creaks apart ; away, the boards pull .
Cozy on a pillow to rest for a spell,
On a front rolls thunder, the words are read ;
And he laughs and laughs, then the chuckles lull .
