Lest we be tempted.
CinCCO
How sweet the scrumptious biscuit tin did look
When stealthy tread reached kitchen undetected,
And secret eater, disobeying rules of diet book,
Did reach above and seize the prize expected.
Then slowly lifting lid with fear of making sound,
Gasped with dismay at what she here did see,
For partner, wise and having secret vices found,
Has emptied all, and in their place is laid------a plastic mouse!
Enough to make the quaking culprit scream aloud,
And swear never more to break the rules of promised diet vows.
