My Temptations

From temptations I'm not exempted I still am always tempted, Wherever I am abroad or in this nation I am always compelled to temptation. Whenever I am ever in a different land I am always led by the temptress hand, Where I am led to I do not ever really know But, my wonder and it's trap does always grow. My first temptation of course is sweets Sugar and candy are better than soups and meats, They truly could become my every meal They are my start of my day, my cereal. My other temptation is of course the female But, sadly they have sent me to both heaven and hell, When I meet a beautiful one I want to marry Over the threshold them I want to carry. There is something about a woman I can't explain With her smile and beauty there's also the pain, So, unto God nightly a special prayer I do pray To please keep that temptation out of my way. My favorite temptation I must say of course is this Eating fine foods is a total bliss, To eat the finest cuisines wherever that I am at Would make me happy, even if I got fat. I love the foods of different countries and their cultures I enjoy them as many enjoy seeing sculptures, And trying new foods I am always eager to try My mind and my palate I need to always satisfy. But, then if my world you had to unravel My temptations could all be pinpointed upon my travel, If I didn't ever traveled either here or there For fine foods or sweets I would not really ever care. Pizza, hamburgers and chicken would be my meals Fine foods or restaurants there be no appeals, And for sweets and the candy I would just buy what was nearby and handy. If not for my travels I would had been married one time less Not to see another wife in her wedding dress, Less women I surely would have dated Less times I would have been used, tricked and hated. I look at the many temptations that have entered my life Which brought me temporary joy and happiness, but later strife, Temptations was indeed created by the Devil Now when I meet temptations, I no longer revel.
