The Coronavirus was there!

Trump cancelled a date
He had to look after his hair!

Tempt me to be funny
And I will be sharp on the money
And I will rattle off a joke
At some poor souls expense
But words will never hurt me

what follows is much worse in fate
you just take a bite
then no need to fight
you're stuck in the spiritual gate

If to have given
a fragment of me to you
a piece for us both
to build a life’s foundation,
then who indeed to tempt fate.

To live
Is not to die
To laugh
Is not to cry
To Love
Is not to hate
To tempt
Is not our fate
To want
Is just pure greed
To be
Is all we need.

Whilst others tempt fate behind bars
So there is a place
For those lacking grace:

Lies corrupt and tensions increase
Lies strike at the heart
To rip lives apart
Tearing at sane minds, piece by piece

What sin will even tempt me;
Will the seven deadly attempt to sway me?
Perhaps I will simply sashay away,
And fill the universe with green!

Who are you to sit
so near my head and
look to tempt my wit
by the keys in hand?
Standing tall before
I lock the heavy
varnish covered door
built to raise a tree.

uncharted seas - courage, and a shudder
Picking up speed, egos unchecked
tempt fate, shipwreck

Riches
of this earth seem
infinite..yet human
greed and selfishness never bring
requite
for
treasures
of this world still
tempt and tantalise with
their illusions...yet rarely bring
delight.

In still of morrow only truth be present.

Dieters beware
Melt-in-your-mouth milky charm

an anonymous tempt to squash nevermore within my hushed dreams
dare I lust fantasies featured with brilliant ingenuity -
just this once for twice is humdrum and never no longer howls

We spew hat.
We stay out late.
We tempt fate.
We shed innocent blood.
We are called studs.
We lie in wait.
We are always safe.
We take the broad path.
We ignore the narrow gate.
We grow old.
We lose our souls.

Caviar is fish eggs and I think so blobbish and ugly
Squishy and squirmy looking; they do not tempt me
Mexican caviar is supposedly ant eggs, definitely not free
How they capture ant eggs, I really do not fathom or see.
