A poem by Ambrose Bierce

An Explanation

________________________________________________
Title:     An Explanation
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

"I never yet exactly could determine
Just how it is that the judicial ermine
Is kept so safely from predacious vermin."

"It is not so, my friend: though in a garret
'Tis kept in camphor, and you often air it,
The vermin will get into it and wear it."
