There was a Biblical character, Ananias Whose personality traits were surely manias He was a liar, liar, liar Minus the Holy Spirit hit hell's fire Ananias had a wife named Sapphira Who swayed like the palm, palmyra Her desire was to husband who was a liar Now she is roasting in that hot hell fire Manias- an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action This clerihew taken from Biblical passage Acts 5: 1-10, loosely interpreted

Andrea, It is in the New Testament so it is free for the reading. Sometimes it helps to refresh out memory on certain Biblical passages. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Nette, Your presence at my work is encouraging. I am glad you like the funny part except it really isn't funny but painful to know that someone or two people made his a horrible mistake. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Kim, Thanks for the visit to my page. I appreciate the time spent here. Your comments are always uplifting. Their or his motive was simply impure and she loved him and followed him instead of the Holy Spirit. Sara
