Junior Words, 30



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #6: (i) denizen, (j) choleric

If you’re a denizen of Rome—
You live somewhere that rhymes with home.

If you live, oh, in Timbuktu,
Then you must have, well, quite a view.

And if you live in Portland, Son—
Don’t people ask you, “Hey, which one?”

And if you live Paris, France,
You prob’ly know ’bout art and dance.

Now, don’t get choleric, my friend—
Unpleasant poems reach their end.
