TEMPTED

Do not think of her
One thought....
Momentary inclination

Do not look at her
One glance....
Minor insinuation

Do not talk to her
One word.....
Moderate incrimination

Do not hold her
One kiss......
Major invitation

Do not make love to her
One night......
Monumental implication!

One of your lighter ones. Very good. I think you and October O should bring out a joint book.
