Junior Words, 88



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #18: (e) profligate, (f) lachrymose

He was so wasteful, profligate,
That his whole family cried.
He just could not provide for them
Because he always tried

To hit the Lotto—every week—
A very heavy dose
Of crazy gambling. And this left
His family lachrymose.
