S’not…really

a sneeze can let

the devil in,

but how does he get out?

Is it the sneeze,

or allergies?

that puff him out your snout…

would a pot of pepper

~near~

blast him through your nose,

would pollen,

call him,

back to Gollum’s

hellish rings & rows?

does it require exorcise–

to help you work him loose,

could cross and priest,

set free the beast,

and make that imp vamoose?

Is he like Drac’…

could garlic snack…

render devil dust?

would bait-ed breath,

insure his death,

and help your schnauz un-pact?

while all these tics

might do the trick,

if they should not prevail…

declare Puck plucked,

a mind construct,

–the devil’s in the details.
