‘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.
Did you enjoy the the artible “Ornithanthropos” from Ambrose Bierce on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
