Pandemonium’s ball
It is a place filled with joy and gloom;
Where Life and Death don’t like sharing a room.
Where Jealousy sometimes likes to stay,
And Empathy sometimes likes to play.
Down in the family room sit the three,
Happiness, Hatred, and Apathy.
While up in the attic- built like a tomb
- A plotting Malice likes to loom.
Still no one had yet to understand
Why The Opposites decided to form their band.
With Hate on the base, and Love on the drums,
While Wit takes lead guitar and Resentment fums.
Confusion just stands there, looking miffed
Wondering why Gluttony is giving Ego a lift.
Later that night, at Pandemonium’s ball,
(No one had given Reason a call),
Everyone danced while the Opposites played
Till Chaos showed up, (To whom no welcome they bayed)
Panic cried out, breaking the dead quiet,
Causing Unreason to start a riot.
Chaos did enjoy this, indeed they all did,
Except for the few like Anxious and Timid.
It was not long before Reason caught on
And in Reason did charge just before dawn.
Reason had scolded them and sent them away,
Back to their places where in silence they’d stay.
When all was quiet, Harmony crept down,
And smiled she did when only Peace was found.
