Dined with the devil yesterday. <br />A charming chap I have to say. <br />He was quite debonair and gay <br />and conversed in a cultured way. <br /> <br />He did his best to tempt me to <br />do the things one shouldn’t do. <br />But as he offered nothing new <br />to my own standards I held true. <br /> <br />I do not claim I’m innocent <br /> I have done things which I repent. <br /> A truth which is self evident <br />and not a cause for discontent. <br /> <br />He smiled at me disarmingly <br /> and whispered to me charmingly. <br />He was content to wait and see <br />Sure I would fall eventually. <br /> <br />That he could wait there was no rush. <br /> I had to jump he could not push <br />He wished me well, went on his way <br /> but stuck me with the bill to pay. <br /> <br />12-Jun-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-should-have-known-3/
