The fly upon the Cartwheel / Thought he made all the Sound; / He thought he made the Cart go on -- / And made the wheels go round.
The Fly upon the Cartwheel / Has won undying fame / For Conceit that was colossal, / And Ignorance the same.
But today he has a Rival / As we roll down History's Track -- / For the "Anti" on the Cartwheel / Thinks she makes the Wheels go back!
