_You tilted your halo at me, While I was polishing my horns, A twinkle in your eye, A prayer on your lips; I can resist anything except temptation. Can you?_

Temptation
_You tilted your halo at me, While I was polishing my horns, A twinkle in your eye, A prayer on your lips; I can resist anything except temptation. Can you?_
‘There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.’ - Mark Twain The penultimate line is borrowed from the playful and flirtatious character of Lord Darlington in Oscar Wilde’s comedy of manners, ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan’.
