Thought I'd pass it on:


Satan tempted Jesus Christ
With wealth and power, so it's said;
and many saints that after came
received an offer just the same.

I don't think that would tempt me much --
no, I'd be tempted if instead
he offered me a good night's sleep;
some kind of peace inside this head;
and, maybe, someone to hold
to chase away the lonely cold.

That's pretty good, and I can relate to it somewhat. I'm not very lonely, relationship-wise, but I really wish I could have a break from myself for once. Oy.

That's such a great shot in your icon, BTW.

"someone to hold
to chase away the lonely cold." you have no idea how long i've used some semblance of those words in prayer... must be what... 6 yrs now... and finally I get an answer... nevermind, you don't know me, I don't know you. the only thing in common between us that I even know of is that one of our interests happens to be the same, and that is all...
