Another day, mainly of rain and grey clouds, until the early evening.


On the Vanity of Earthly Greatness

The tusks that clashed in mighty brawls
Of masterdons, are billiard balls.

The sword of Charlermagne the Just
In ferric oxide, known to rust.

The grizzly bear whose potent hug
Was feared by all, is now a rug.

Great Caesar's bust is on the shelf,
And I don't feel to well myself.

Arthur Guiterman
(1871-1943)
