Cordelia's Reply to Ezar
My Bible says the meek are blessed
Your planet kills and eats the flawed—
But he who laughs the last laughs best
Meekness—or just rage repressed?
Terror at home, the sword abroad
My Bible says the meek are blessed
You put his honor to the test
He lay down, you rode rough-shod
But he who laughs the last laughs best
And now the Empire's your bequest
Did you expect him over-awed?
My Bible says the meek are blessed
So you go to your final rest
Praying that there is no God
But he who laughs the last laughs best
The conman says: You can't defraud
An honest man. Isn't that odd?
My Bible says the meek are blessed
For he who laughs the last laughs best

Found Scrawled on a Restroom Stall, Somewhere on Beta Colony

Aral Vorkosigan
Was handed his ass by a lass of our Force
Then she hit Steady Freddy
But I didn't vote for him
As far as I see, she's no cause for remorse

Sergeant Taura
Causes hardened soldiers to flee in horror.
She wears a pink nightie to impress her feller.
If you think she looks silly, for God's sake don't tell her.
Georish Stauber, Baron Fell
Hasn't aged very well.
His orbital fortress is quite intimidating-
He's compensating.
David Galen
Discovered violent revolution wasn't smooth sailin'.
He decided to better his people's lot in ways more brainy
Now he's Duv Galeni.
Cavilo
Makes a soft pillow
But you won't sleep well on her of nights.
This bitch bites.
