A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #9: (c) evince, (d) tractable

If you were just more tractable,

I think you would evince

A bit of human modesty—

But if I can’t convince

You to display some kindness and,

Perhaps, humility,
I’ll just buy you a ticket for
A ship that sails the sea—

A voyage that (oh, I’ll make sure)
Will never, never end.
So my advice to you today:
Be modest, my old friend!
