I should Have Known

Dined with the devil yesterday.
A charming chap I have to say.
He was quite debonair and gay
and conversed in a cultured way.

He did his best to tempt me to
do the things one shouldn’t do.
But as he offered nothing new
to my own standards I held true.

I do not claim I’m innocent
I have done things which I repent.
A truth which is self evident
and not a cause for discontent.

He smiled at me disarmingly
and whispered to me charmingly.
He was content to wait and see
Sure I would fall eventually.

That he could wait there was no rush.
I had to jump he could not push
He wished me well, went on his way
but stuck me with the bill to pay.
