A Temptation Reviewed

The wretch just doesn’t see I’m right for him,
Why won’t he just magic stone into bread?
The ways of his Dad need a little trim,
My own path offers an easier tread.
Hop off the temple, give people a show
And those angels something to do I said
Would he listen? Well of course he said no
I’m telling you know that he’ll end up dead.
All the kingdoms of the earth, all I could
Give him, were his if he’d be sensible
Was he hell! No due worship to me would
Leave his thin lips thick with pious dribble.
What can he do? Can he kill sin and death?
Can he rise from the dead? Don’t hold your breath!
