SIN-o-NYMS, 4i



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

Lust (i): erotomania

Erotomania ran wild—
Oh, there was nothing nothing mild

About the outbreak in the land—
The flames of passion had been fanned.

Oh, what to do? The King was stumped.
And then he learned the Queen had dumped

Him for a jester … oh, what’s next!
The King was thoroughly perplexed.

And so he did what leaders do:
He took his crown off (wouldn’t you?).

He donned his favorite sleeping cap—
Then lay right down and took a nap.
