Acerbate
To worsen, or make the consequences greater.
To move faster
Old Johnny was born in San Francisco,
He went back to visit with his wife, as a childhood memento.
He wanted to remember the spot where he used to fish,
And wanted to warn the young people about the dangers of life, to admonish.
He cared deeply about the state of the city,
And couldnʼt stand to see it fall into such a sate of grief and pity.
He was tired of the increase in poverty rate,
He wishes he could do something to stop the people who just seemed to want the problem to acerbate.
His life was on the later half, but he knew he could to fix this,
His one dream in life, to remove this city from itsʼ state of complete abyss.

Farraginous
A confused mixture
Crazy or out-of control
New Law:
All citizens of the United States of America must not mix alcoholic substances with any other
alcoholic substances. This may cause a farraginous and potentially dangerous mixture of the
substance. Citizens are still allowed to drink alcohol, but if they are caught mixing different
alcoholic drinks, they will be prosecuted. This law does not apply to mixing alcohol with non-
alcoholic beverages, as this is perfectly fine. The police and people of enforcement in restaurants
or anywhere alcohol is sold in the country are to report and confiscate all people not abiding by
this rule.

Abstinent
The practice in refraining from something, usually alcohol
Not showing up or non-existent
Dear Phil,
" I have noticed your recent patterns of activities, and wanted to express my
concern. You have not been making the best of decisions lately, and one of these days
your are going to get caught. You need to be more abstinent about cheating on tests. You
know that it is not the right thing to do, and it is not fair to the rest of the class, or yourself.
You arenʼt learning anything, and that is the whole purpose of school. You need to refrain
yourself from this type of behavior, as the consequences are not worth the risk. Donʼt take
this as a bad thing, just a letter of concern trying to help you out.
