Good

          (see Webster's New Collegiate, copyright 1974)

Report card B, commodity, food
long in the fridge unspoiled.

Antonym & origin of evil, grade
of kisser in the kissed

mouth's mind. The news
I'm leaving, you decide

what kind, what for,
assign the qualifier:

pretty, very, no.
You never had it so.
