"Mr Province has advised that Father O'Brien once sent a copy of the poem to "Dear Abby" and it was printed erroneously giving credit to Father O'Brien for writing it. It is at that point that the authorship became clouded..."

Thanks for the information. I'll credit Mr. Province in the future -- but at an great number of websites O'Brien is credited as the author.

It's a wonderful poem.

I noticed that, too. Many sites also say "author unknown", which is a shame. It's a wonderful poem, and we can do our part to make sure this vet gets credit for his work!

In short order, scum like Rall will relegated to the dustbin of history, and it's comforting to know this poem will be what lives on.
