117: sadism: the enjoyment of inflicting pain on others (from Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade, 1740–1814, French nobleman who wrote novels about his adventures in sexually mistreating young girls; first known use, 1818)

Oh, his sadism cost him his job and his spouse—

And it cost him his car, and his dog, and his house.

For so many just could not abide his mean ways,

And so all just abandoned him—matter of days.

But the dude wouldn’t change—just a sadist at heart—

And he accepted no blame—not the tiniest part.

But with everyone gone—who was left to torment?

He became then a masochist—knew what it meant!
