A TEASE IS A TEST

Got a phone call early in the morning?
Well, you've got to answer it, my darling
Listen to the sweet voice that is singing
But never surrender to that calling

Got a message with a seductive pic?
Well, you've got to read and view, don't make me sick
Don't be afraid to watch and make a pick
Unless you know yourself that you are weak

Someone's knocking behind the door
Would you open or would you hear some more?
Would you welcome or would you ignore
An offering of good food from a neighbor?

There are lots of teasing which come your way
But never entertain them, that's what I pray
A tease is just a test if you can play
Just play but do not fail, hear what I say.

Some thoughts I had after a conversation with a friend...

I had never thought of a tease as a test, but it makes sense and I loved your poem and the message. Good job!

We would never know who are really honest or who are just teasing us to test us. We might think that we can handle the play only to realize later that we are the ones being played. =).

lol. i'm on my phone now and it's difficult to type words. i'm here out of town with my students. that poem was written after a friend told me something like i have experienced too many times- a stranger sent a message that she saw my profile and she wants to be a friend and i should email her so that she can post her pics. lol. what game is that?
