Well thanks for putting into motion,
The very clever but comical notion,
That I've got two horns and a tail.
I must say the strategy is great,

Though the red suit is second rate,
But the tactic is kind of swell.
I just love all the free promotion,
And your rather obvious devotion,

It's worked out oh so really well.
More powerful than a love potion,
It removes all the fearful emotion,
And sends so many straight to hell.

For those of you who don't quite understand this poem, what it is saying is that because tradition has given Satan such a comical appearance, not only do many people no longer fear him, but they don't even believe that he exists. He has in fact been relegated to the realm of myths. In short, by assigning the Devil a red suit, two horns, a goatee and a pitch fork, we have in fact done him a favor.

Well, the most dangerous enemy is one who we don't even know is there, or who we don't even recognize as being a threat. Because of this silly image of the Devil, many people no longer realize that Satan and his minions are working against them every single day, polluting their minds and hearts with lies and deceptions, tempting them with things, and generally trying to destroy God's plan for their lives, which of course is Salvation.

That is why in this poem, he expresses gratitude for the fact that through our own tradition, we have removed the fear factor, and made him an invisible enemy to so many people. Their eternal fate is in jeopardy, and they don't even realize it.
