Words from a Teacher's Past, 75



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

List #15: (e) subtle, (f) belligerent

If you’re belligerent, then you
Are not too awfully subtle, Yo.
For subtlety requires a view—
Yes, cleverness, as you should know.

But you just walk around and growl—
And teach us all just who you are.
I’m telling you: You are a howl,
And your deceptions won’t go far!
