Chris Skiles
The Jews had the rabbis
The Greeks had philosophy
The deer have their woods
And the bears have their berry patches;
But the Virginians have the deers’ woods
And the bears’ berry patches.
And they are all the more animal for it.
They have the Tinder
But of the web, not of the forest.
They have the teeth of the bear
And the cowardly spots of the fawns;
They have their dogs that constantly bark,
That poop on your lawn.
And they are all the more animal for it.
