Forget about the other six, says Pride.
Theyre only using you.
Admittedly, Lust is a looker,
but you can do better.
And why do they keep bringing us
to this cheesy dive?
The foods so bad that even Gluttony
cant finish his meal.
Notice how Avarice
keeps refilling his glass
whenever he thinks were not looking,
while Envy eyes your plate.
Hell, were not even done, and Anger
is already arguing about the bill.
Im the only one who
ever leaves a decent tip.
Let them all go, the losers!
Its a relief to see Sloths
fat ass go out the door.
But stick around. I have a story
that not everyone appreciates”
about the special satisfaction
of staying on board as the last
grubby lifeboat pushes away.
