His Best Review Ever

It was the best review I have ever had! He bragged.
Want to read it?
I truly did not, but I was trying to be nice.
And he was so proud, so I did.
“Uninstructed, unintellectual, low brow.”
I looked up at his grinning face. 
“See all those big words?” he said, pleased.
“Incognizant, illiterate, untrainable. Recommend letting him go.”
“They are going to let me go!” he said, happy.
“Go where?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” He told me. “But they are paying for it!”
