Pride had Faith on the road, then they walked for awhile<br />

'Til they sussed Hope and Lust, who winked at Faith and smiled<br />

Though Lust Faith had always hated, Pride held Hope and soon was sated<br />

So Gluttony and Sloth were born of Faith and Hope's desire<br />

In the froth of Pride their sire<br />

The barbarity is Charity is wet nurse to both<br />

In prosperity a verity loathed<br />

As we search and search, but do not find<br />

Some kind of heaven, seven<br />

When the seventh surgeon kissed her and enhanced her<br />

Then my well-missed sister was burgeoning with cancer<br />

The transcendentalist had shown her the answer<br />

You're never alone when you're a topless dancer<br />

As inside we fight what we hide from sight<br />

All is equable in God's own eyes<br />

Seven wrong and seven right<br />

Wrath came upon Fortitude in the flowers<br />

Prudence spied from the path, while Fortitude coaxed and mewed for hours<br />

Then to Temperance his wife's dismay<br />

Wrath quaffed Greed and Envy's cunning offering of a cocktail tray<br />

Now Wrath subdued Envy with Greed raped Fortitude<br />

'Til Justice descended her tower and spoke<br />

She Wrath awoke and held Wrath's coat while Wrath slit both their throats<br />

Seven sisters smoking marijuana, mexicana<br />

In their Duenna's absence, listening to Madonna<br />

With their pasha distant, subsistent on bananas<br />

Ever glister in their visitless zenana<br />

Seven days and seven nights, seven brothers, seven kites<br />

Flown on seven testing flights, seven days the sun shone bright<br />

Seven nights by candlelight<br />

Seven brothers seven kites, flown into the seventh night
