Tempted

Each of us gets tempted
By the things we shouldn’t do.
Judgment gets pre-empted
As excuses we construe.

Dieters give in and claim
Just one bite wouldn’t hurt.
People in relationships think
It’s okay to flirt.

Sometimes we are lured into
Temptations so enticing
That we convince ourselves
We’re worthy of both cake and icing.

Spending what we can’t afford
Or volunteering time;
Starting up a mountain that
We know we cannot climb.

It’s easy to get sucked into
Temptation’s sticky web.
So many foolishly expect
To have desire ebb.

But always things will tantalize
And no one is exempted;
It’s our decision to be made
Each time that we are tempted.

Premium Member On Halloween Night

On dark Halloween Night
The moon will lose its light
The goblins will hunt you
To cook your entrails into barbecue

There will be loud screams in town
Cry of crows will be heard all around
Ominous howls of wolves will be the worst
They’re Draculas’ Foreboding Blood-thirst

Ugly wraiths will hung themselves in gallows
On ghost gum trees with monster shadows
Hunchback men will haul caskets with their spade
Putrid carrions will soon be insidiously laid

Witches will set scalding poisons in cauldrons
Tarantulas will scuttle out from their alley holes
Be wary and wear your red-lighted horns
It pre-empted them from feasting your eyeballs

On that very dark Halloween Night
Your friends will be out of sight
Grave yards will be widely opened
Zombies will be searching all hunky men

If you are really one of them
Better hide from those arrant Zomb-women
A warning for both adults and children
To ignore a bloody and one’s horrifying mien

There will be more scary creatures
On that Halloween night if you go out and venture
Just wear your spooky costumes and make sure
You cannot only walk but fly and crawl
