  5. On the twelfth day of vocab, the state gave to me: twelve students assimilating, eleven teachers consensing, ten context questions, nine derived answers, eight incumbent vice-principals, seven inevitable corrections, six malleable freshman, five subdued essays, four inherent tests, three innate arguments, two inveterate "mehs", and an omnipotent Mr. Kline.

    I hope this comes close to the proximity that you were asking for.
