The Devil

The Devil

The Devil is in the details,

or sometimes in our house,

de-tails,

a silly way of saying

our rambunctious cats

raise hell

here.

The Devil is in the details,

of all the plans you make,

Having thought,

 if you think

something

then shall it be,

like

God.

The Devil is in the details

is a handy way of saying

it was too hard,

or

some pointy eared all red

guy with a tail and red pitchfork

is making me unsuccessful.

It started out as the God in the details,

a more glass half full kind of thinking.

But that maybe sounded too hopeful,

or positive, or together-minded.

Instead, the saying has become

The Devil in the Details

and

It does quite quickly describe a

quandry or quagmire or

failure or

f up.

Do I have to spell it out?

There's that devil, again.

(that's She devil to you, buddy...)
