A poem by Ambrose Bierce

The Committee On Public Morals

________________________________________________
Title:     The Committee On Public Morals
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

The Senate met in Sacramento city;
On public morals it had no committee
Though greatly these abounded. Soon the quiet
Was broken by the Senators in riot.
Now, at the end of their contagious quarrels,
There's a committee but no public morals.







[The end]
Ambrose Bierce's poem: Committee On Public Morals
