SIN-o-NYMS, 7y



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


Wrath (y): dudgeon

In dudgeon high—in dudgeon low
(He wasn’t sure which way to go)—
He flared at friends and colleagues, too—
And left them wondering what to do.

But on his anger flamed and flared
And no one ever really dared
To tell him, “Dan, you are a jerk!”
Such confrontations didn’t work.

Instead, they simply left the room—
Commiserating, all, on Zoom.
Until the flames at last were out,
And they could learn what ’twas about.
