SIN-o-NYMS, 7a



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

Wrath (a): anger

His anger formed the basis for
A very famous book.
He was a captain of a ship—
But, no, not Captain Hook.

No, this was Captain Ahab, and
You’ve probably know the tale
Of Ahab, Starbuck, Ishmael—and,
That notable pale whale.

It didn’t turn out very well
For Ahab, ship, and crew,
But Ishmael lived to tell the tale—
What truths our Melville knew!
