Words from a Teacher's Past, 49



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


List #10: (c) prowess, (d) illuminate

Your prowess is impressive, yes—
But if I now had to assess
Your qualities, well, I would guess

That you’re aware I kind of hate
The way that you illuminate
Each room you enter—such a state.

So, sure, I’m jealous (you can tell?)—
And, sure, I’ll prob’ly go to hell—
Where I’ll find kindred personnel.
