This accusation, like most about me, is not true. I've been happily married to Persephone for over 2500 years any ou can read about it in "Elephant News" which is here: http://www.lulu.com/content/109104

Well, your pacing is great and some interesting lines, but as for the content, Satan is very much into soul destroying, which is neither straight nor gay, and if he can't destroy your soul, he will try to just discourage you, rob you of hope, or whatever he can...he "walks the earth seeking whom he may devour"....

An intellectual exercise of sound, pacing, and meter.

This is not even about political correctness here - this is about this verbal exhibitionism. But better write here, than on the toilet walls or doors... :-) P.S. I am straight.

I'd vote this 666 but the scale only goes to 5.

Did anybody notice? This is the 1000th Beatles parody on Amiright!

(SOTM)Santa's Gray?? Well, of course he is...:-) Congrats on Beatle 1000, Peter..I'm sure the Fabs would love this. And I'm loving the neverending parody..

I thought the Beelzebub line was clever, and I've got to commend you accomplishing your goal - you did a great job of playing the Devil's advocate!

(SOTM) See above comments and the scale still only goes to 5.

(SOTM) I like the irony (at least I think it's irony). 555

(sotm) Write boldly and let none discourage you.

(SOTM) Usually political parodies are badly written, but great work here. Congrats on Beatles #1000.

(SOTM) This was great!! I liked the beelzebub line too. 5's

Three cheers (make that three fives) for "verbal exhibitionism." I predict you'll soon be hearing this sung in churches everywhere. See you in Hell.

(SOTM) See above!

:-) (now... where's that horned smiley?)

(SOTM) Interesting progression from Satan to Lucifer to Beelzebub to Michael Moore. Who would be next? Pauly Shore?

I would like to thank everyone who voted for this one so far and give comments to everyone, but there's too many and the subject would probably rouse conflict rather than funny bones, so I'll settle for just three at the moment

John Jenkins: At $555 an hour for those cases I won and $111 for whose I lost, no doubt.

Spaff: Haven't really thought about it before but others here have had their parody stuff show up in seriously meant "predictable" contexts. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised if this one does too one day.

Rex: LOL! But the original idea was to balance the parody with a final verse about "Pope John Paul" and salvation. I still have mixed emotions about not going down that road, but the Michael Moore verse paced better and turned out much funnier.

(SOTM) Nice job

SOTM--interesting to say the least...=)

sotm - did this inspire the neverending thread, K1? - if so, you've gotta include these verses - they'll be of historical importance one day :-) - 555

well this was a gay old time!

Devilishly clever

I just... I can't get behind ya on this one, Peter. The beauty of this place is we're all free to create our parodies as we wish. I just don't see the point in portraying intolerant ideas for the sake of 'growing as a writer'. That said, pacing was spot on.

(SOTM) "I just wanted to see if I could write a really aggressive parody from an intolerant point of view" Umm, it's easy to be intolerant... ;-)

Tim Mayfield and 2nz: It's rather easy and not much of a writers challenge to be intolerant in your own language, but you have to take into account that as a Swede I really am broadening my English grammar by writing a stupid ditty like this. :-)

That fact had escaped me... I guess then there's also the implied complement that I didn't know your grasp of English grammar wasn't broad already. So speaking as a person, I'm uncomfortable at best with the subject matter of this parody. But as a parody writer I commend you for expanding your mind. And there ya go
