SIN-o-NYMS, 7c



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

Wrath (c): choler

Displaying choler here and there
Is not the brightest move to make.
You’ll realize this dire mistake
When you’ve no friends—not anywhere.

Elizabethans thought, you know,
That choler coursed inside your blood—
And sometimes swelled into a flood
That made you rage—a dynamo

Of anger in explosive mode.
Oh, there are those so choleric
They make themselves both sad and sick
With every wrathful episode.
