Restrain Ribald Rounds Poem by John Sensele

In all you do, abide by God's wishes
Surrender not to despair
Worship not dishes of fetishes
Although life sometimes doesn't play fair.

In all you do, think thrice
Surrender not to prurient pleasures
Stand firm for your principles to pay a pesky price
Although life on you dishes droll demands and monster measures.

In all you do, focus on the purpose
God embedded in your person
Surrender not to a salacious circus
Although life lumbers on you a listless lesson.

In all you do, nip in the bud the notorious nature
In which temptation comes
To blight and slight the future
That belongs to you as associates and friends for you pray in their homes.
