I Walked a Mile With Pleasure

What did Pleasure do? She robbed you! "But it was great while it lasted!"......Was it? I walked a mile with Pleasure; she took my breath away, She told me how she'd laughed and danced many nights away, With unsuspecting people, whom she'd captured with her charms; How she'd smothered and cajoled them, in her all embracing arms. I walked a mile with Pleasure; her allure was plain to see! "They worshipped what I stood for! The world they wanted me. They reached out in their blindness, through boredom and despair; Pleasure is what they asked for and Pleasure was right there." I walked a mile with Pleasure, she loved extravagance! She captivated millions and put them in a trance. She robbed them of their money, pride and self esteem And left them cold and hungry with half remembered dreams. I walked a mile with Pleasure, she said, "They could have run! They could have moderation! Instead they wanted fun. My role was very simple! It was to satisfy! I gave them all they wanted and that I can't deny!"
