The Poor

Title:     The Poor
Author: William Carlos Williams [More Titles by Williams]

By constantly tormenting them
with reminders of the lice in
their children's hair, the
School Physician first
brought their hatred down on him,
But by this familiarity
they grew used to him, and so,
at last,
took him for their friend and adviser.

[The end]
William Carlos Williams's poem: Poor
