Words from a Teacher's Past, 89



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

List #18: (c) anguish, (d) shroud

I felt such anguish when I saw
That dark and poignant shroud.
I knew the thing was there for me—
I rose into a cloud.

And when I woke, I realized
That I was in a crib.
No! I am starting up again—
Again, I’ll wear a bib!

Again, I’ll eat that Gerber’s stuff—
I’ll wear those diapers, too.
Why can’t I just be dead again—
Much easier to do!
