Explore "Tinker Dick" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Good Parson Dickson preached, I'm told, / A sermon -- ah, 'twas very old / And very, very, bald! / 'Twas all about -- I know not what / It was about, nor what 'twas not. / "A Screw Loose" it was called.
Whatever, Parson Dick, you say, / The world will get each blessed day / Still more and more askew, / And fall apart at last. Great snakes! / What skillful tinker ever takes / His tongue to turn a screw?
