I Fell Down a Well

I found a well
and in I fell
down to Hell.

It was very hot
and smelled a lot
of reek and rot.

So I grabbed a pick
and ran lickety-split
into Old Nick!!!

I was so afraid
of being flayed
I hit his haid!!!

He got really mad
and red (a tad).
Things looked bad.

So I ran up the well
rang the church bell
and proceeded to tell
about being in Hell.

Well I don't know why
But they said "You lie!"
so I left with a sigh.

I jumped back in the well
and slid back to Hell.
It's really quite swell;

much better than where I came from.
