SIN-o-NYMS, 5j



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

Pride (j): self-importance

Too much of this annoys us all—
Too little presages a fall.

Oh, self-importance—just a bit—
Can be a good thing, you’ll admit?

We need to feel that we’re worthwhile—
But show it with some modest style.

For when it swells—a well-soaked sponge—
It’s something that we must expunge.
