Advanced Animal Mutations

It's the latest intellectual thing; it's in vogue To dare to say it doesn't make you a rogue You can let people know that experts can show That we are just two-legged animals: It's so! Between us are no unbridgeable separations We are merely advanced animal mutations Our music no better than a Thai elephant's clanging Our language duplicated by an ape on a keyboard banging So, I'm terribly sorry to be behind the times here But I find all of this to be unutterably ***** For to me it is the height of laughable misinformation To try to conceive of an animal with a human's imagination

Imagination surely separates man from the animal kingdom, Gershon. I've yet to see a dog that could do something his ancestors couldn't, yet we surpass our ancestors in many ways because of creative thinking, inventions, imagination. Your poem gets the reader thinking. Well done! Have a wonderful holiday, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn
