Fault Found In Others

Wallace Dean LaBenne

The stain found in others
is found in ourselves
Like devious dryads
we are crafty elves

The ploy found in others
is found in ourselves
Like liable brownies
we are guilty elves

The sham found in others
is found in ourselves
Like conniving fairies
we are tricky elves

The mood found in others
is found in ourselves
Like petulant pixies
we are tetchy elves

The fault found in others
is found in ourselves
Like critical goblins
we are dodgy elves
