The devil, in his quest to reign supreme,  
decided that he'll need a few more souls.  
Perusing through his arsenal, a meme  
seemed best equipped to engineer their falls

Thus harvesting the clicks, he sat to watch,  
as fingers pointed and as stones were thrown,  
and souls fell, just a bit, just one more notch;  
the meme appeared to strike just the right tone

Devil's dessert, delicious schadenfreude,  
his constant goal, his ever present theme.  
No need to check with Skinner or with Freud.  
You know now why you love a clever meme
