Revenge debated Love. Claimed she was sweeter:  
"You loved and never lost. Boohoo", she said.  
Not known for backing down, Love worked to beat her:  
"You're sweetest when your enemies are dead,

but what then of the living, of the journey?  
That's surely more of an acquired taste,  
and best served cold" -- she was a great attorney,  
Revenge, though, knowing well that haste makes waste,

fell silent as Love spoke with heat and passion,  
while dwelling on each injury and hurt,  
and thinking: balanced meals might be the fashion,  
but I would rather order just dessert.

Love might be sweet enough to win your favors.  
Revenge for those who favor stronger flavors.
