Elizabeth Smith Poet Couplet

A Tail Is a Tale

A TAIL IS A TALE

Before they are born
All creatures have the same form

Such embryos whether reptilian, animal or human 
Charcteristics the same: difference is illusion

Gestational tails are had by all species
Required by nature as one of life's necessities

So when next a human looks at animals as second class
Look behind to make sure no tail hangs from his ass

Poet Tacito October 24, 2014 at 9:40 AM This was a very charming read. Catchy, yet deep title. :) Elizabeth Smith October 24, 2014 at 5:11 PM Thanks Drake. I'm glad you liked it. I don't know why the subject came up in my mind but it came out as this "tale/tail"
