Rudyard Kipling - Prophets at HomeRudyard Kipling - Prophets at Home
Work rating: Low


Prophets have honour all over the Earth,  Except in the village where they were born, Where such as knew them boys from birth  Nature-ally hold `em in scorn. When Prophets are naughty and young and vain,  They make a won`erful grievance of it; (You can see by their writings how they complain),  But 0, `tis won`erful good for the Prophet! There`s nothing Nineveh Town can give  (Nor being swallowed by whales between), Makes up for the place where a man`s folk live,  Which don`t care nothing what he has been. He might ha` been that, or he might ha` been this, But they love and they hate him for what he is.
