SIN-o-NYMS 5c



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

Pride (c): ego

Maude’s ego swelled with each success—
And why did she succeed? Just guess.

Her father was the king of France—
Her mother was the Queen of Dance.

Her brother was King Midas’ child—
Her sister—well, that girl was wild.

So Maude believed her fortune was
Due all to her—and all because

She was just awesome! (That’s the word.)
Reality, for her? So blurred.
