Words from a Teacher's Past, 100



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

List #20: (e) laconic, (f) dismal

He was laconic—no debate.
He rarely spoke—his words were few—
And those he had were not too great.
But there were things that he could do.

He’d smile on even dismal days—
He’d comfort those who were depressed—
He had a most affecting gaze—
In many ways, he was the best.
