C J Dennis - A Fair Risk
Work rating: Medium

Rashly I shot an arrow in the air,
   And, as my shaft into the zenith sped,
I knew `twas bound to fall some time, somewhere;
  And wondered if `twould drop upon some head.


A certain friend of mine who loitered near
   Remarked, "Don`t let the thing distress you, please.
`Twill hit a politician, never fear."
   And so, my tortured conscience was at ease.


Now, when I read of Party Government, *
   Its wrangles, lies, and methods most unfair,
I calmly step outside my tenement *
   And shoot another arrow in the air.
