Sadism

When the parrot
Was about to fly,
The feathers were broken
By a sadist.

When the peacock
Was about to dance,
The legs were injured
By an evildoer.

When the nightingale
Was humming rhythmically,
The melody was interrupted
By a maniac.

When the sculptor
Was carving a statue,
The figure was ruined
By a vandal.
