Cunning
Applause fits well with cunning lot:
Choice cheats with style such morbid mints,
Use ever tells of crafty plots;
Note the fake smiles as echoes tint,
Notice the sway of ample tease;
Indulge such gloom such fancy names,
Notice the play as masks don ease;
Give humour room to trap false blame.
Pride frames ego in kindred flair,
Embalm the dread as fear outlives;
Observe tango in tempo's air,
Prime here instead vain lust and grief;
Loss cites mad cause to live for spoils,
Embark lost course to boil in oil.
