The Poem by Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman

The



The fly upon the Cartwheel
Thought she made all the Sound;
He thought he made the Cart go on–
And made the wheels go round.

The Fly upon the Cartwheel
Has won undying fame
For Conceit that was colossal,
And Ignorance the same.

But today he has a Rival
As we roll down History's Track–
For the 'Anti' on the Cartwheel
Thinks she makes the Wheels go back!
