Triolet by A. E. Stallings

Triolet on a Line Apocryphally Attributed to Martin Luther
via Poetry Magazine

Why should the Devil get all the good tunes,
The booze and the neon and Saturday night,
The swaying in darkness, the lovers like spoons?
Why should the Devil get all the good tunes?
Does he hum them to while away sad afternoons
And the long, lonesome Sundays? Or sing them for spite?
Why should the Devil get all the good tunes,
The booze and the neon and Saturday night?

A.E. Stallings

Who loves not women, wine and song remains a fool his whole life long - Martin Luther
