"And he will smile upon her, which will now be so unsuitable to her disposition, being addicted to a melancholy as she is..." -Shakespeare


I met the devil at the store and

As he browsed through the aisles

I saw him add candles to his cart

And wondered if the fires of hell weren’t

Bright enough


I met the devil at the store and

As he asked where the

Matches were, I wondered if

His fiendish aides sometimes

Tired him


I met the devil at the store and

At the checkout, his card was declined.

I said “no problem” and covered it

He told me he owed me

A favor

After writing "I Met the Devil at the Gas Station", I was inspired to explore the theme a bit more and ended up writing a three part series. This is the second one.
