Poem by Hilaire Belloc

The Bison

The Bison is vain, and (I write it with pain)
   The Door-mat you see on his head
Is not, as some learned professors maintain,   
The opulent growth of a genius’ brain;
   But is sewn on with needle and thread.

3. A Trinity
4. On the Ladies of Pixton
5. On the Little God
