(9) Pantoum: Revenge
What goes around comes around.
—Old Saying
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
—The Godfather
A taste of your own medicine.
—American Idiom
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
—William Congreve
What goes around will come around; revenge,
A dreadful dish best served in meditation,
It's like a lover scorned, who will avenge
The worst that you have done without causation.
A dreadful dish, best served in meditation,
Is such a sweet desert that's gone awry,
The worst that you have done without causation
A feeble ploy to make me sob and sigh.
Is such a sweet desert that's gone awry
Enough to right the wrong that you committed,
A feeble ploy to make me sob and sigh?
Indeed, my sweet, I'll have it better fitted
Enough to right the wrong that you committed,
Until I equal all the pains you've wrought;
Indeed, my sweet, I'll have it better fitted
For you to know the medicine I've brought.
Until I equal all the pains you've wrought,
You'll have to wait in ignoramus bliss
For you to know the medicine I've brought,
Your sly conniving scheme! Remember this!
You'll have to wait in ignoramus bliss.
It's like a lover scorned, who will avenge
Your sly conniving scheme! Remember this:
What goes around will come around—revenge!
