Devil In The Detail
- Important little questions of life
Some important and some stupid questions that never seem to get asked. (It all started when the first line came into my head.)


If the devil's in the detail, then where the hell is God?
Is he down behind the sofa, where keys have gone as well?
Now having the best music, is the Devil Goth or Mod?
Those little boy and girl bands, are from heaven or from hell?

Have you ever really wondered, why sky above is blue?
Is it something due to science? And does it clash with green?
Are we the only beings, in a universe so huge?
Do the whales enjoy singing? How much water have they seen?

Does a penguin lose its balance, with just one wing unfurled?
Is it cruel to fly planes over, to see if they will fall?
If we all jump together, would an earthquake rock the world?
Change a light bulb with no chair, if I stand up really tall?

Does a falling tree make a sound, in forest unobserved?
Can we ask that kind of question, without a puff of smoke?
Now what is going to happen, when I've had my time on Earth?
Will they put me in the ground? Was it God or Devil spoke?
