Ornithanthropos

Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

"Let John P. Irish rise!" the edict rang
As when Creation into being sprang!
Nature, not clearly understanding, tried
To make a bird that on the air could ride.
But naught could baffle the creative plan--
Despite her efforts 'twas almost a man.
Yet he had risen--to the bird a twin--
Had she but fixed a wing upon his chin.

[The end]
Ambrose Bierce's poem: Ornithanthropos
