SIN-o-NYMS, 5b



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

Pride (b): conceitedness

They chastised me—from head to toe.
Conceitedness was their complaint.
They wouldn’t really stop, and so
I tried a trick—a clever feint.

I told them, “I’m a lousy guy—
So, really, I agree with you!”
They went off happy (hear my sigh?)—
Oh, I’m the best of liars, too!
