an almost accidental gathering of poets
 
   
 
 
Arthur Guiterman
 (1936)
On The Vanity Of Earthly Greatness
The tusks that clashed in mighty brawls
Of mastodons, are billiard balls.

The sword of Charlemagne the Just
Is ferric oxide, known as rust.

The grizzly bear whose potent hug
was feared by all, is now a rug.

Great Caesarīs bust is on the shelf,
And I donīt feel so well myself.
