Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Temptation Therapy

Temptation I could not resist.

I was on insanity's brink.

My shoplifting sprees did persist.

Desperate, I went to a shrink.

Kleptomania therapy

I had for eighteen months intense.

The Doc said that cured I did be.

And to prove it, as evidence

I'd go straight to a big box store

And walk through all the aisles around.

I'd not be tempted anymore,

To shoplifting no longer bound.

"If you relapse," Doc says to me,

"I sure could use a new T.V."
