SIN-o-NYMS, 6c



Lines Based on Synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins
SEVEN DEADLY SINS: envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath

Sloth (c): indolence

“No, indolence is not a crime—
It’s how I like to spend my time!”
This from the witness in the stand
In self-defense, for he’d been banned

From both his desk and office chair—
Was forced to work in open air.
The judge woke up, said, “What was that?
Some indolence? No crime in that!”

And so he let the fellow go—
Though you won’t be surprised to know
That when he next at work grew tired
And lay his head down? He was fired!
