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
Was to dismiss them with a pitying sneer.
Unable to prove them wrong, he called them “shrill”.
Why? Who knows – I'd guess laziness and fear..
