The oath I took as a [meat] inspector said if I ever saw anything wrong I was supposed to report it. But today, if you blow your whistle, you're in trouble with the inspection service. I feel the oath I took is violated every day I work.
—William Freeman anapest
A metrical foot of three syllables, two short (or unstressed) followed by one long (or stressed), as in seventeen and to the moon. The anapest is the reverse of the dactyl.
