Cartoons, video games, disguises
Diabolic and Satanic too
Yes, Devils are a motley crew.
In paintings often they have wings,
Horns and a tail that round them clings
For Breughel - Fallen Angels too
For Bosch - bad nightmares, wildly true.
What of devilled kidneys? (That sounds grim
What torture chamber were they in?)
But Belgium's Devils are benign
They just kick balls, so that is fine!
