Overflow Infliction

     Unswallowed lumps of lobster immodest
     Crustacean returns to pincers persimmon 
     Waitress whisk indiscernible clears linen 
     Custom of one equates her eight hour day


     Has It All Paul wipes away gourmet residual
     Exhaustion frightened by frothy latte
     Fingers in pies finance necromancer denies
     Bulging funds fail to complete, coins conflict

     
     Periphery rebuffs, enough is finite, endless leers
     Goblet of gluttony grape broth overflow inflicts 
     Victim of vanished virtue, bon vivant declaration
     Transmutes rules, outruns consequence


     Guidance glued in buttery dough glides rhetorical
     Yacht reined in quay quiver, another arrow for Cupid
     Entertainment timed to change with shifting tides
     Inglots tossed overboard drown in debauch

    
     Drunk playboy Paul while vulnerable divulges
     Disdain for greeds' steep scrag, perpetual pursuit
     Outdo, prove prowess for those who never realise 
     Incongruent grapple for further forgets to cherish


     Partners relent, resources force caucus to submit
     Patronising Paul procures boardroom obedience
     Inundating debt retards bombastic boon reward
     Promise of association silences indulgent sin

            Plenty Stimulates
