A poem by Ambrose Bierce

A Pickbrain

________________________________________________
Title:     A Pickbrain
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

What! imitate me, friend? Suppose that you
With agony and difficulty do
What I do easily--what then? You've got
A style I heartily wish _I_ had not.
If I from lack of sense and you from choice
Grieve the judicious and the unwise rejoice,
No equal censure our deserts will suit--
We both are fools, but you're an ape to boot!








[The end]
Ambrose Bierce's poem: Pickbrain
