Words from a Teacher's Past, 79



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

List #16: (c) surpass, (d) contrive

You can’t surpass what he has done—
There really is no way.
I mean, the dude devoured a duck,
Its bill and feathers. Say,

Could he contrive a tale like that?
Just trying to impress?
I think he did: There is no way
He’d tolerate such … mess.
