Dinner Party
by Quinlan L GibsonHello! Come in, come in.
Let me take your conscience and
introduce you around.
Arrogance is here, blinding in bling.
Ego is chatting it up in the kitchen with Vanity.
Greed is playing the piano while Pride belts showtunes.
Oh, there's good ole Gluttony setting out the appetizers.
and our good friend Narcissism brought the finest wine.
Won't you join us? There is plenty of room. 10/20/2006 Author's Note: No idea where this came from. At least it's something.

| Posted by Steven Kenworthy on 11/22/06 at 03:50 PM one of the best things i've read on here in some time. plain & smart...out of nowhere and not overly poetic like 99% of everything else in the world. feels like a sophisticated mess...i love it. |

Congratulations on becoming The Party Girl Of The Day, Quin.
Incidentally, my split personality wants your number. |
