BURNT TOAST<\/p>\n

If you are going to drink the poison,
\nYou might as well drink the very most,
\nSure, go right ahead, become deceived,
\nThat old Satan is the very best host.<\/p>\n

Once that fiend has got you by the ear,
\nHe will just lie and deceive and boast,
\nKnow that if you happen too stay long,
\nYou will be a part of his hellish roast.<\/p>\n

Oh, yes, the Devil has only one goal,
\nTo distract you from the Holy Ghost,
\nAnd if you should believe all of his lies,
\nYou\u2019ll end up like a burnt piece of toast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
