Old or New, Any Distraction Will Do

Along the path to the house of the Lord
Satan fashioned a cunning world

Of endless curiosities, thrilling games
clockwork puzzles and lover's lanes

And bearing more serious types in mind
some mundane tasks of decades' time

And lastly a beautiful terrace on which
to linger, and to linger, and to linger

And watch the rays of the last setting sun
'til home-coming time is over and done

And darkness falls outside.
