In My Back Pocket You’d never guess to see me keeping one safely hidden yet still too close for comfort He has taken my freedom Locks and chains do not hold him he can throw an awful fit puts neighbors in a tizzy So I have to let him out He gets me into a mess causing trouble everywhere bringing stares and loud anger With words to make me confess He’s just a little fellow you would think he’d do no harm wish I had a magic wand I would take control of him He stands just three inches high and likes the free ride he gets as I carry him around There is a gleam in his eyes He whispers the fun of sin saying there’s no one to know he would never tell a soul But I know he will deceive He says it’s just to have fun no one will ever be hurt sowing wild oats it is called Surely I am not alone Smiling we’d party tell dawn be flirty with the cute men take one home to have some fun Then forget him when he’s gone He knows when I am lonely there’s a twinkle in his eyes saying I’ll feel right as rain Sometimes I start to lean close I guess I’m just stuck with him tempting me both day and night to stray from what I’ve been taught Leading me right into sin I wish I could lock him up not to hear his taunts again or feel tempted to listen To the silly, wicked little IMP I keep deep in My Back Pocket Karen Mc Neil May 31, 2012 *may our dreams ever be magical* |

Fantastic, Karen!!! I think we all have a little imp somewhere on our person. Thank goodness we do. Life would sure be boring if we didn't. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Smiling here ... that little imp must be overjoyed to be carried around in your back pocket! You developed this temptation theme very well and with the right dose of humour. Margherita |

I think we all have one of those that like to whisper in our ear every once and awhile. Nicely done! Kat >^..^< |
