Junior Words, 62



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #13: (c) perfidious, (d) sybarite

You have become perfidious
In day and also night.
And so I fear I must conclude:
You are a sybarite.

You focus sharply on the flesh—
And, yes, of course, on sex.
Your heart is disappearing—like
Tyrannosaurus rex!

Repair yourself! It’s not too late!
And live a purer way.
For you might find you have a soul—
And have no price to pay.
