SIN-o-NYMS, 5h



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

Pride (h): self-admiration

Well, his self-admiration was over the top—
He would not cease his bragging—he just wouldn’t stop.

So we gathered and talked—if we only could see
Some are way to increase this guy’s humility.

Oh, this problem would vex—it would vex—and just vex.
We saw no sure way—till we thought of old Rex.

Well, old Rex was a T. Rex—with many sharp ways—
To convince self-admirers that they had few days

If they didn’t reform—become modest and sweet.
So our guy was convinced—while old Rex gnawed his feet.
