Junior Words, 82



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #17: (c) reprobate, (d) puerile

The dude called me a reprobate
A term I quickly learned to hate.

Then puerile came next, I fear—
A word that falls, oh, far too near

The sort of person that I am.
(I can’t be silent as a lamb!)

But still those unkind words hit hard—
So I hit him—my prison guard!
