SIN-o-NYMS, 1e



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

Envy (e): resentment

I felt resentment when she won
That prize that should, of course, been mine!
No way she’ll get a valentine—
No, not from me—no, nothing! None!

I earned that Nobel Prize—so why
Would they award the thing to her?
Oh, prizes are not what they were!
And I’m now a resentful guy!
