DownloadPandora was having a decisively bad day.
She didn’t set out to open the box;

But her curiosity got the better of her,
and a cavalcade of evils of every shape and size spilled out.
By the time she'd slammed the front door of her home shut,
only 10 minor imps— of wrath, greed, gluttony, and sloth varieties—
and three greater demons remained.
