In My Back Pocket You’d never guess to see me that I keep one safely hidden but still too close for comfort He makes sure I’ll never be free I tried to keep him under lock and key but he throws such an awful fit enough to put the neighbours in a tizzy So I have to let him out you see He works hard to get me in a mess causing trouble everywhere I go bring stares and anger in my direction With loud words to make me confess He is such a little fellow you’d think he’d do no harm but you should hear the jokes he tells all to make you red and angry How I wish I had control of him with a magic charm He only stands three inches high and likes the free ride he gets as I carry him around the town I watch the glowing wicked gleam in his eye He whispers to me the fun of sin telling me there is no one to know and he would never tell a soul But I know with him I’ll never win He tells me it’s just to have some fun no one will ever be hurt just some wild oats to sow I am sure I’m not the only one He smiles and says we’ll party tell dawn flirt with all the cute men take one home to have some fun Then forget about him when he’s gone He knows when I am lonely I can see him wink then tell me to just listen to him and I’ll feel right as rain Sometimes I start to lean in close then I’ll have to blink I guess I am just stuck with him tempting me both day and night to stray away from all I know And gently lead me into sin How I wish I could put him in a chest and very tightly lock it I’d never have to hear his taunts again or feel tempted to do the things he says This silly, wicked little IMP I keep deep in My Back Pocket Karen Torbiak© Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Oh that little rascal is always there, night and day isn't it? A fun read, and I thought you were going to say leprechaun...imp is better, a more modern sound to it. |

Temptation seems to always be with us...some give in more then others...does keeping him in your back pocket work? James |

Yes, I have one ... it resides in my wallet  Crazy little spendthrift indeed. What a joyful read. My eyes just flowed down the page Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
