"Mephistopheles"

Mephistopheles you Devil
A word that fits her too
A small white fluffy creature
It just cannot be true
An image of an angel
Does not appear to me
Though small and white and fluffy
A Devil now I see
Her mistress loves her truly
Though she is quite a pest
Mephistopheles is present
Your patience now she’ll test
Her image is deceiving
She has a lovely flair
But Satan now is hiding
Beneath that fluffy hair!
So watch her now with caution
She’s sneaky don’t you know
She’ll attack you without warning
Then off again she’ll go!
Prepare yourself for action
And wait and watch and see
Find a place of cover
For around again she’ll be
Her innocent appearance
Deceives you now with ease
But under all that fluff you’ll find
A wee Mephistopheles!

· 6-7-98 Jan Farinsky has a little fluffy dog she calls Angel but it is far from an angel it is a pest and her son called it Mephistopheles so I wrote the above poem about it. That word is pronounced Meh fah tho leez – means Devil or Satan.
