I defeated Satan by leaving those
Last two cookies in the cookie jar; how
I’ll ever know for sure, well, I’ll just wait.
I defeated the flesh by pulling up
Two dark church socks with spotted patterns and
Overstretched elastic bands; they don’t stay up.
I defeated the world by smiling at
The fool that rode his motorcycle through
The stop sign looking back at me, gloating,
Rocking the cool sign and then slamming
Into the back of a parked car while I
Tried my best to suppress a laugh which
I couldn’t. No wait that second part didn’t
Really happen, I just wished that it did.
I defeated Satan by leaving those
Last two cookies in the cookie jar; how
I’ll ever know for sure, well, I’ll just wait.
