"I, Scorpion" is a short poem by Karl Jones.

Ignorance Kills

You know the story of the scorpion and the frog and the river?

I am a scorpion in a land of no frogs and no rivers.

Commentary

Footnote: Howard Kranz - this is what I mean by tragic poet, as opposed to other kinds.

Sure I tell funny jokes, I play a good clown.

But I exceed all restraint as a scorpion.
