Junior Words, 85



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #17: (i) garrulous, (j) obeisance

You’re garrulous? Sure, that’s all right—
Though all the times you pick are strange
(Like funerals—it’s time to change!).
Perhaps you should not talk but write?

Yes, write some novels—children’s books—
Nonfiction—memoir—anything!
The history of the chicken wing!
Or why those pirates all have hooks!

Yes, show obeisance to my plea—
You’ll find yourself more welcome then
Than lately you have ever been—
At least, this will be true for me!
