I had forgotten how much poetry there is in Ambrose Bierce's Devils Dictionary. An unholy amount given the nature of the author one might think. A form of expression peculiar to the Land beyond the Magazines as he puts it himself. Perhaps he foresaw blogs? Still, they bring the odd smile.

FAMOUS, adj.
Conspicuously miserable.

Done to a turn on the iron, behold
Him who to be famous aspired.
Content? Well, his grill has a plating of gold,
And his twistings are greatly admired.
