FORK AND PORK
The devil often prods his fork
In my butt like a piece of pork
To watch my action of display
For him to go or him to stay

He is illusions master mind
There’s nothing he can’t work or find
But payment is his evil goal
For just a snip of your soul

There is no end to shape or size
But beware you are the prize
His mirror shows forever’s time
But surely is a pit of lime

He offers you a freedoms reign
But freedom comes to naught but pain
And long as time is in the mix
You know the end a bag of tricks

So live the life you’re meant to live
And give the most that you can give

"So live the life you’re meant to live
And give the most that you can give"

thank you lovie

And when they call me crazy (again) I will tell them that I have permission from Seymour Tabin!

(They won't know what the heck I'm talking about--but...shrug?) WE know.

It's so good to see more Tabin!

Dealing with the devil never comes without a price...and the game is always rigged in his favor. That fork of his always is a pitch...(think I may have spelled that last word wrong!)

Well, that devil sure knows how to pull those strings now and again. I like the visual of getting literally prodded, lol.

Your closing as always, is a pure message Sy. Indeed, we need to live our lives and give the most we can. It's a journey and a learning experience. Always a challenge. Lucky are we, when our journey crosses paths and intertwines with someone as wonderful as you.

PS ... I loved Karen's "see more Tabin" line, lol

Best wishes and big hugs,
/Kit

My dear sir Tabin, I laughed at first then the left of the words frizzed my face.  

A very beautiful poem but sadly says a true part of life.

I love the ending. the courage and love

enjoyed as always

have a wonderful day, Sir Tabin

Nearly misread the title, but then that's the devil in me!

Exactamondo! That's why I aim to keep my butt from being bitten by the Devil! I'm putting my money on the Big Guy upstairs!

Loved the title! I dig your kind of rye, I mean "wry", humour! lol

Love you, T-Man!
