Karma is a bitch, they say
And I believe it is true.
I will take a lot of things in life
but insult will always prove
to be a very touchy subject
which brings out my very worst.
I will not insult you in answer,
but will pray for Karma to do her work.
A thousand curses I may utter
but you will never hear them;
for I will do this in private
and be kindness in person…
Knowing your time will come
Author notes
5) The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as best I could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
--Edgar Allan Poe, *The Cask of Amontillado*

I like that! Sounds more like Murphy's law though.
Good luck in the contest!
