Thou shalt no God but me adore: <br /> 'Twere too expensive to have more. <br /> <br /> No images nor idols make <br /> For Roger Ingersoll to break. <br /> <br /> Take not God's name in vain: select <br /> A time when it will have effect. <br /> <br /> Work not on Sabbath days at all, <br /> But go to see the teams play ball. <br /> <br /> Honor thy parents. That creates <br /> For life insurance lower rates. <br /> <br /> Kill not, abet not those who kill; <br /> Thou shalt not pay thy butcher's bill. <br /> <br /> Kiss not thy neighbor's wife, unless <br /> Thine own thy neighbor doth caress. <br /> <br /> Don't steal; thou'lt never thus compete <br /> Successfully in business. Cheat. <br /> <br /> Bear not false witness--that is low-- <br /> But "hear 'tis rumored so and so." <br /> <br /> Covet thou naught that thou hast got <br /> By hook or crook, or somehow, got.<br /><br />Ambrose Bierce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/decalogue/
