SIN-o-NYMS, 7t



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


Wrath (t): irascibility

We’ve reached irascibility
That most disturbing quality
Of people most like you (not me!).

The anger boils right near the top—
And once it starts, it’s hard to stop.
Like lava. Better call a cop

When it becomes too heinous to
Cool off without the men in blue,
Who’re used to it—know what to do.

Yes, folks who are irascible
With anger are completely full
And need a friendly little pull

Straight back to good old sanity—
Oh, not irascibility,
Which ruins much, as all can see.
