pathos and logos spar in the nursery

“I want revenge.” said pathos plainly, and
logos returned, “I don't see why." And
adding to its judgment, it furthered its reply,

"You're the one who's wicked, and
she's the Hearthside Saint.”  To which
“Please define 'wicked'?” was pathos’ leading plaint.

And this request for the rational took logos far astray.
“It depends upon your frame of mind,” it was swift to say.

“Aha!” pathos cried out,  “Then sure you understand.  My morals
are my basic needs:  please help me craft a plan."

And since logic as it happens, is not altogether wise,
it joined pathos, id, and ego and they hatched a grand surprise.
