Junior Words, 63



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #13: (e) servile, (f) chicanery

I thought that being servile might
Help ease my way to wealth and fame,
And so (though I am not too bright)
I sought a mentor with a “name.”

But she saw through me—right away—
And ended my deceptions. See,
She recognized in just one day
My clumsy, sad chicanery.
