Pride and vanity saturate the atmosphere
with self-indulgence —
fitting ambiance for discriminating diners
at the Stuffed Ego Café.
Chef’s special recommended.
Self-satisfaction guaranteed.
Hors d’oeuvres include savory gossip:
Malicious tidbits marinated in criticism;
Tasty morsels of ridicule and condemnation
rolled in unrepentant tongue.
Choice of entrée:
Flaming Arrogance or Char-broiled Superiority.
Served on beds of seasoned condescension.
(Includes salad of mixed grievances with guilt dressing.)
Complimented with a vintage of full-bodied Judgement.
Conversation is peppered with appetizing speculation:
Who is worthy of love?
Who deserves punishment?
How is retribution to be exacted?
Responsibility for alienation is ignored.
Conspicuous hostility is unexplored.
Dessert of Rich Conceit is excessively sweet.
Nausea may occur. Food poisoning is possible.
Indigestion? Inevitable!
