Sir Arthur Conan Doyle



                   A Parable


                   The cheese-mites asked how the cheese got there,
                     And warmly debated the matter;
                   The Orthodox said that it came from the air,
                     And the Heretics said from the platter.
                   They argued it long and they argued it strong,
                     And I hear they are arguing now;
                   But of all the choice spirits who lived in the cheese,
                     Not one of them thought of a cow.
