“Words, words,
words.”
— Hamlet (2.2)
List #17: (i) discrepancy, (j) concession
“I see there’s a discrepancy,”
The banker then declared to me.
“But I’ll make no concession, for
I am a dull, unyielding bore.”
“You need,” I said, “to have more fun,”
And then it was I pulled my gun.
“I see your point,” the banker croaked.
“It’s just a water gun,” I joked.
Too late it was—the die was cast.
And I got rich—oh, very fast!
