Junior Words, 74



A High School Teacher’s Final List


List #15: (g) grovel, (h) insipid

I tried to grovel—would that work?
I knew that I had been a jerk.

“Oh, please,” she said. “You fool no one
With your insipid, overdone

Attempt to show some real remorse.”
And she, I fear, was right, of course.
