THE BISON, by                 Poet's Biography
First Line: The bison is vain, and (I write it with pain)
Last Line: But is sewn on with needle and thread.
Alternate Author Name(s): Belloc, Joseph Hilaire Pierre Rene
Subject(s): 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.
