THE THYROID GLAND, by GAMALIEL BRADFORD First Line: If you removed my thyroid gland Last Line: Are all my thyroid gland. Subject(s): Animals; Oxen | ||||||||
If you removed my thyroid gland, I should become an ox, Without the power to command A single paradox. The interest I feel in God Is all my thyroid gland. My quick inventions quaint and odd, The glorious works I planned, The splendid sweep my fancy takes Wide over sea and land, Also my various mistakes, Are all my thyroid gland. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TEN OXHERDING PICTURES: HERDING THE OX by LUCILLE CLIFTON TEN OXHERDING PICTURES: SEARCHING FOR THE OX by LUCILLE CLIFTON TEN OXHERDING PICTURES: SEEING THE OX by LUCILLE CLIFTON TEN OXHERDING PICTURES: THE OX AND THE MAN BOTH GONE OUT OF SIGHT by LUCILLE CLIFTON TEN OXHERDING PICTURES: RETURNING TO THE ORIGIN, BACK TO THE SOURCE by LUCILLE CLIFTON TEN OXHERDING PICTURES: CATCHING THE OX by LUCILLE CLIFTON |
