Abuse of Soul Power

Look at those humans staring below
They laugh at us, but what do they know
     The “intellectual” beast
     On greed and judgment will feast
They gaze at us and think WE are slow

We stare back and know they are the fools
We follow a better set of rules
     As we hang from nature’s vines
     We just giggle at their whines
They fail to use their soul-power tools


*Written in honor of John Freeman and his "Limericks Hilarious" contest.

Congratulations Carolyn. You are so good at these. I did not try this one as I was not at a very hilarious time of my life. I''m getting better. Love, Joyce

As my sister stood beside the chimpanzee exhibit at the Columbus Zoo 2 weeks ago, I pondered similar thots....I got a sense they were actually making fun of her....interesting approach to that cutesy photo of John's. Much enjoyed , Carolyn. Gwendolen

springs ajar the soul power door, and grasping reaching we implore, lift the curse a little more, so I won't be a writhing, thoughts of hypnotising? maybe sure...
