Читать книгу Phases - Mischa Willett - Страница 21

My students rib

me all the time:

you know who you look

like? Scipio Africanus,

the Roman general who

finally defeated Hannibal

and his elephants

to close the Punic

trouble.

It doesn’t bother me,

usually, but I do tire

of hearing the history bit.

Hannibal and the elephants!

As if I could forget!
