My Vices
Published by Webmaster on 07/30/2003 (4124 reads)
When I am sad I cannot sin,
When I am sad I cannot sin,
But when my heart's aflame
It's then I see the devil grin
And point to paths of shame.
When I am sick I have no urge
To break Commandments Ten,
But when I am with life a-surge
I mock the laws of men.When in December cold I pine
I follow folks to church;
But when Spring kindles in the vine
I leave them in the lurch.
When ailing oh how good I am,
But when I'm fighting fit,
For morals I don't care a damn,
And that's the truth of it.When as with lusty force I sing
Of women, wine and mirth
I wonder if my transgressing
Is not just joy of earth?
And though I sail with even keel
I think it's rather hell
To practice virtue when I feel
So dangerously well.
