Words from a Teacher's Past, 7



“Words, words, words.”
    Hamlet (2.2)

List #2: (a) obstinate, (b) disperse

“Why must you be so obstinate!”
The officer exclaimed.
“I ordered you to all disperse!
You all should be ashamed!”

But nothing really moved at all—
Despite the angry words.
For pigeons know no language—and
They are, of course, just birds.
