SIN-o-NYMS, 6j



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

Sloth (j): listlessness

His listlessness will do him in.
If only he would just begin

To find some energy to work
And not blame all on some odd “quirk”

That keeps him from his excellence.
To me, it simply makes no sense

To lie around and think “What if?”
While spooning loaded spoons of JIF

Into his sticky mouth. (But … true?
I love that peanut butter, too!)
