A High School
Teacher’s Final List
List #2: (e) clarion, (f) vitiate
Her voice was surely clarion,
And it could vitiate
A quiet room where people read
And shunned all talk, debate.
And so we quiet people once
Approached her (had no choice)
And asked her if she would—oh, please!—
Diminish her loud voice.
She looked at us and bellowed, “No!
I won’t submit to you!”
But soon we learned to love her voice …
Adapt: what humans do.
