SIN-o-NYMS, 5f



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

Pride (f): pompousness

She couldn’t stand his pompousness
His arrogance and pure conceit.
She felt he was a human mess,
This man of hers, this guy named Pete.

So she said, “Pete, you’ve got to change—
To be more modest, humble, too.”
Pete said, “You’re right—I’ll rearrange
My life by promptly dumping you.”

He thought that women soon would flock
To be with him (an awesome guy),
But he’d been fooled by his own talk
They all gave him the Evil Eye!
