“Words, words,
words.”
— Hamlet (2.2)
List #15: (i) overwhelm, (j) intervene
You looked so overwhelmed that I
Thought it was time to intervene.
You looked as sad as I have seen—
With fallen face and tear in eye.
But when I tried to cheer you some—
With jokes and pleasantries galore—
Instead, you cried, “No more! No more!
Why do you have to be so dumb!”
Well, that was that, the end of all.
You stormed off to—well, who knows where?
I found I kind of didn’t care.
In fact, I really had a ball!
