Junior Words, 23



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #5: (e) somniferous, (f) sexton

The sexton fell asleep because
The sermon was somniferous.
He snapped awake—he’d heard a buzz
From lots of other people (us).

“Be quiet!” snapped the sexton—but
We knew he’s really not a creep.
We figured out (yes, in our gut)
He wanted much more time to sleep!
