SIN-o-NYMS, 5d

Lines Based on Synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins

SEVEN DEADLY SINS: envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath

Pride (d): egotism

Jim’s egotism—off the charts.

He thought that all the women’s hearts

Were his for taking—what a dunce!

I don’t think there was even once

When any woman looked at Jim,

Thought, “I would like to get with him!”

Instead, they looked—and each one thought:

“I might have dinner with him … NOT!”
