Death and Destruction argued by the
door,
Which of them would pay that heavy bill,
Mine Host sedately added up the score,
Caressing fingers resting on his till...
Plague and
Famine had far less to say,
Just spread their hungry empire through the land,
And wondring maybe who would win the day,
But always thinking of the job at hand.
Gluttony
and Sloth played one last round,
While Carnage stretched as far as eye could see,
And Lechery caressed without a sound,
As Peeping Tom craned further just to see...
The
Serpent writhed its coils around fair Eve,
Preparing for a second time to leave...
