PICADOR, by                    
First Line: This is the thing I want to say to you
Last Line: For a few red drops in the dust.
Alternate Author Name(s): Mcgee, Mrs. M.h.
Subject(s): Bullfights & Bullfighters; Friendship


This is the thing I want to say to you
Before it is too late;
Before you quite have finished
This that you have begun:

Friendship is not a bull in the corrida,
But, if you think it one,
Be a matador with the flashing cloak
And the gallant thrust...

Not picador, who presses in the little dart
For a few red drops in the dust.
