SIN-o-NYMS, 3d



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

Greed (d): covetousness

Yes, my covetousness had grown past normal bounds—
I now crave an estate; I crave horses and hounds.
And I think that a yacht would be awesome, don’t you?
I could sail all the seas—oh, yes, that’s what I’d do!

And in fact I believe (so my cravings have grown)
That I’d like to possess all the things that you own.
Oh, it’s not that I’m jealous—oh, no, I’m restrained.
It’s just owning all things is how I’m entertained!
