Words from a Teacher's Past, 83


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

List #17: (a) cryptic, (b) arrogant

Don’t be too cryptic in your speech—
The audience you need to reach—
And some are fragile as a peach.

And some of them are arrogant
And think that they are heaven-sent—
Will try to start an argument.

So keep it short—and keep it sane.
If so, I think that, once again,
You will succeed, come shine or rain!
