The Devil went down to Georgia
Cigarette in his mouth
Only one goal in mind
He was looking for the man
That has sold him soul all those years ago
In he walked, into the bar
A devil without a disguise
Everyone hurried out in horror
But Johnny sat there calmer than ever
“You promised me your soul Johnny
And I’m here to collect what’s mine”
Johnny took a long sip of whiskey and said
“That I did but what about we make this a little more fun
You and I drink till the sun sets
If you win I’ll come down with you, I’ll even bring some friends
If I win you have to let me stay and never bother me again”
The Devil laughed and agreed
He sat besides Johnny and the bartender brought another glass
Soon bottles of whiskey surrounded them and the Devil could take no more
He lay on the floor groaning and barely conscious
Johnny smiled, still calmer than ever and said
“You may be the Devil but this here is Georgia
We can handle a drink or ten any day of the week”
The Devil knew that he had been beat and returned to Hell alone
And Johnny?
He remained a legend in those parts and never did see the Devil again

The poem doesn’t have that deep of a meaning, just me having fun with this week’s prompt. This poem was inspired by the popular country song, The Devil Went Down To Georgia:
