Words from a Teacher's Past, 38


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


List #8: (a) legitimate, (b) oppress

His only goal seemed to oppress
The ones he deemed inferior.
I thought of plans (I do confess)
To make him less superior.

Legitimate? My plans were not—
In fact they were a wee bit wrong.
I did the deed, and I was caught,
And now I serve a sentence—long!
