Saint Dunstan (If I Ever I Was Tempted) Poem by Patrick O'Reilly

Saint Dunstan (If I Ever I Was Tempted)



Amazing
How soon I cave to temptation
After I said I was an absolute dog,
A St. Dunstan in denim,
But a real live boy.

Get thee behind me,
Ye women of silver tongues
And smoother fingertips.
I have my silver tongs
To give your gorgeous noses a twist.
She's wearing my name as we speak.

And I don't question your virtue,
Only my own strength.
