Hey diddle diddle,
A demon and a riddle.
The maiden was sacrificed under the new moon.
The spirits laughed to see such precision,
And the devil ran away with her spirit.
Hey diddle diddle,
The powers in the middle,
My earthly reign coming soon.
Following closely were my minions,
Her protestation, I didn't want to hear it.
Hey diddle diddle,
The darkness drank in my fiddle,
Completing the ides of June.
The Gods wept in my decision,
The power in my grasp, near it.
Hey diddle diddle,
A baby boy, tiny little Kiddle,
His skull completing my rune.
She begs me once more to close the lesion,
My power, people are coming to fear it.
Hey diddle diddle,
They all sat idle,
As my last offering took place at noon.
She screamed and begged to no avail,
And I set forth to the good of the world, to clear it.
Author notes
Hey diddle diddle, with some poetic license. A small tribute to Dr. Doom for anyone who knows the true story, a mixer of science and the Dark Arts, it didn't take him long to take over.

I like this twisted nursery rhyme. Especially since each line srhymes with the same line number in each stanza which looks like it was probably hard to do. Well penned. Not bad for your first poem.
