Junior Words, 34



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #7: (g) saturnine, (h) splenetic

There’s no point feeling saturnine
I’m sure that things will work out fine.

Sure, you were so splenetic then—
That day when you commenced to sin

By poisoning your neighbors’ tree
Because its limbs (as all could see)

Were dropping gunk into your yard.
But jail, you’ll find, is not that hard!
