"Mephistopheles"

Mephistopheles you Devil

A word that fits her too

A small white fluffy creature

It just cannot be true

An image of an angel

Does not appear to me

Though small and white and fluffy

A Devil now I see

Her mistress loves her truly

Though she is quite a pest

Mephistopheles is present

Your patience now to test

Her image is deceiving

She has a lovely flair

But Satan now is hiding

Beneath that fluffy hair!

So watch her now with caution

She's sneaky don't you know

She'll attack you without warning

Then off again she'll go!

Prepare yourself for action

And wait and watch and see

Find a place of cover

For around again she'll be

Her innocent appearance

Deceives you now with ease

But under all that fluff you'll find

A wee Mephistopheles!
