SIN-o-NYMS, 7w

Lines Based on Synonyms for the Seven Deadly Sins

SEVEN DEADLY SINS: envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath

Wrath (w): querulousness

Yes, his querulousness was a thing to behold—

And it seemed ever-fresh—and it never seemed old.

He would come into work with his brow furrowed so

That he looked like a man who’d been scratched—so we’d know

That we’d better be careful—stay out of his way—

For if not, we would have a most miserable day.

He would bark at us all—like a dog on a chain—

And he never would bother to try to explain.

And so soon we just treated him like Mr. Hyde—

But all of us—all—were just laughing inside.

Well, he never caught on—he just raged on and on—

Till the men in white coats came around—he was gone!
