Honesty seems to be
A top rate fan of mine,
As the years roll on by
I`d hate to see decline.
Temptation looms contentedly
Convinced that it will win,
In the hope I`ll look the other way
While I commit to sin.
Once or twice I must admit
It very nearly won
When I was just a youngster
And thought life was just for fun.
I edged a little nearer
I to`d and then I fro`d,
I`m pleased to say I finished up
Walking that honest road.
Then if temptation got behind me
I gave it quite a shove,
And found more fun in other things
When I met my first love.
Sadly, 'Just this one and only time'
Is crimes opening gambit pitch,
Then many humans catch the bug
And find they can`t stop the itch.
Well, I hope I can continue
On the 'right' side of the law
If I turned 'left' I still have the fear
I might crash and fall.
I`ll look out for many others
Travelling down that long straight line
If we stick together
I`m sure all will turn out fine.
