Ambrose Bierce - Decalogue

Ambrose Bierce - Decalogue

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.
