The Boss’s Choice

by Ambrose Bierce

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/ambrose-bierce_poetry

Listen to his wild romances: He advances foolish fancies, Each expounded as his “view”⁠— Gu.
In his brain’s opacous clot, ah He has got a maggot! What a Man with “views” to overwhelm us!⁠— Gulielmus.
Hear his demagogic clamor Hear him stammer in his grammar! See him laboring to spell⁠— Gulielmus L.
Slave who paid the price demanded⁠— With two-handed iron branded By the boss⁠—pray cease to dose us, Gulielmus L. Jocosus.
