“Words, words,
words.”
— Hamlet (2.2)
List #8: (g) reconcile, (h) commend
Well, I commend you for your plan
To meet and reconcile.
You haven’t spoken to your mate
For really quite a while.
(AN HOUR LATER)
What are those bruises on your face?
Those knots atop your head?
It seems she used a baseball bat
To counter what you said!
Sometimes you homer—sometimes not.
Sometimes (and there’s no doubt)
You try your best—you really do—
But, still, you just strike out.
Too bad it wasn’t she who fanned—
Who swung and merely missed.
A baseball bat feel worse—far worse—
Than when you’ve just been kissed.
Sometimes you homer—sometimes not.
Sometimes (and there’s no doubt)
You try your best—you really do—
But, still, you just strike out.
Too bad it wasn’t she who fanned—
Who swung and merely missed.
A baseball bat feel worse—far worse—
Than when you’ve just been kissed.
