Across the field
a mushroom lay
a man picked it up
and ate it merrily
His mind began to wander
hoping to become part of a heavenly place
he picked up his step
tripping on his shoe lace
Looking up from the ground
the devil he saw
coming toward him with beady eyes
and a chainsaw
Terrified he shouted
why are you coming after me
it was a heavenly mushroom
in Heaven I am supposed to be
The devil kept coming closer
his dark suit in plain site
grasping the edge of a tree
he looked like in flight
The devil spoke
as he came into range
speaking softly
with this exchange
Young man
you are a fool
you have stepped into
a pasture cesspool
When you come down
off of your high
I am a farmer
rescuing you before nigh
The man slept
waken to be safe again
never will eat another mushroom
grateful that God saved him
