Fate!

Title:     Fate!
Author: John Kendrick Bangs [More Titles by Bangs]

I FEEL that I am quite as smart
As Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart.

I’m also every bit as bright
As Walter Scott, the Scottish knight;

And in my own peculiar way
I’m just as good as Thackeray.

But, woe is me that it should be,
They got here years ahead of me,

And all the tales I would unfold
By them already have been told.

[The end]
John Kendrick Bangs's poem: Fate!
