A Circular Magician's Epitaph


Epitaph on a would-be Catholic Controversialist



The person I had in mind is not yet dead. There are no prizes for guessing who it is.

He never engaged the foe. An easier thrill -
Dismissal with a weary sneering phrase.
He never proved them wrong, just called them “shrill”
Or “Taliban”. So passed his wasted days.
