I better read the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis;

the devil has become my persistent and worst nemesis.

Whenever I pray he comes in like a storm;

always uniform, he strives to misinform.

It never fails, I set aside the time;

my mind wanders, not ignorant of his design.

Even when my cares are few, his suggestions are without number;

oh that ugly scoundrel, he would prefer that I should slumber.

He lies to me, says get my shoes and sox on;

shorten my prayer time, get to the sine qua non.

Clean those ears, that just can't wait;

got ya in my power, I will always infiltrate.

Oh that baseball game, it will be on soon;

you can meditate later, enjoy a macaroon.

Just enjoy your life, why put pleasure on hold;

I'll leave ya alone, just wear my blindfold.

I better reread the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis;

the devil has become my persistent and worst nemesis.

Many years ago I sought out his deceptive technique;

he pursues me still, he is certainly the master freak.
