On the menu

I made you

a special

casserole

for dinner tonight.

It's full of

all the ingredients

you seem

to love.

Two cups of selfishness,

a half cup of spite.

Three cups of greed,

and four tablespoons of grudge.

I mixed them all together,

then poured them in a pan.

Baked it for an hour;

now I'll serve it nice and hot.

You think it looks

delicious?

I'm so glad, 'cause

it's all yours.

Though

I think it needs

thing.

Please, take a seat

while I finish

up your meal.

I add a pinch

of poison.

Now, won't that

hit the spot?
