Junior Words, 43



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #9: (e) gibbet, (f) tincture

They let him to the gibbet, where
He’d soon be swinging in the air.

A tincture in his face of green—
A look the crowd had often seen

On men who did their hanging thing—
Where in the air, they’d swing, swing, swing!

But then—reprieve!—so many cheers. 
And off they went for pizza, beers.
