Words from a Teacher's Past, 36


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

List #7: (g) ensue, (h) tumult

The tumult surged—what would ensue?
Could I escape? What could I do?

The mob surged ’round—their faces red
With anger. Cried: “Off with his head!”

“Whose head?” I thought. “I need a sign!”
They grabbed me. Oops. The head was mine.
