Dinner Is Served

Your cup is filled with anger. Always a bitter brew to be swallowed Revenge will be your soup de jour. It is a soup that is best served cold Disappointment sits congealing on your dinner plate. It rots the gut Condemnation sits aside the rest. Quick to jump on the plate Deceit rounds out the meal. Bits of meanness too tough to talk your way through Bigotry is a bread that when left to rise will overrun the pan Jealousy is your just desserts. A green sour grape confection bit
