Words from a Teacher's Past, 12



“Words, words, words.”
    Hamlet (2.2)

List #3: (a) ravenous, (b) ominous

Oh, ominous, it truly was—
And I can make this point because

That shark looked truly ravenous
And he was staring right at us!

I swam as quickly as I could—
The shark just laughed (did not sound good),

Then bit my leg off, just to taste,
And then consumed me—left no waste.

Above I’d seen a raven soar—
Had heard him croaking, “Nevermore!”
