“Words, words,
words.”
— Hamlet (2.2)
List #19: (g) arduous, (h) pretense
So arduous, that grisly task
That you assigned (you didn’t ask).
And must I really wear a mask?
It seems like pretense—patently—
To put a Batman mask on me?!
One look and everyone will see
That I’m not Batman—ain’t no way!
My gut is pooched; my beard is grey.
So folks will laugh—is that okay?
