A comment from the blog that JUST HAD TO BE PUBLISHED

A person called "Bum"left the following poem as a comment on an old post- Harm No Living Thing .
Even though the original poem was written by Christina Rosetti, I like the one in the comment better. Such spontaneous brilliance must be shared:

Harm no living thing,
Not the bird, the bee nor the snake,
Nor the kangaroo hopping with a spring,
Nor the fish that swims in the lake,
Nor creatures hiding, away from your eye,
Nor the fly, hovering over your feast,
Nor the moth, the sloth or butterly,
Nor boastful man, nor humble beast.

-Bum
