Junior Words, 72



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #15: (c) vapid, (d) abstemious

That vapid speech just left me cold—
Ideas in it were so old

That I could almost hear them creak
When he stood up, commenced to speak.

I thought about a shot of booze—
For, after all, what’s there to lose?

I drank, began to rage and cuss—
And learned to be abstemious.
