Bill Baker Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Caveman Speaking

You ask me why I live in cave
Caveman not want to be a slave
I take a chance and look around
I see that people act like clown

Your little ones you not take care
You always running here and there
You drop them off at crazy school
No discipline when they break rule

They spend their time in front of screen
You wonder why they act so mean
They don’t know sex or what is real
By age of ten know how to kill

Government tells you what to do
You give up trying to be you
Purpose of life, make more money
Hate is growing it not funny

I choose a life here in my cave
Not make a choice to be a slave
I took the chance to look around
No way I’d choose to live in town

David Crandall August 1, 2025 at 11:30 AM Good poem. Sometimes, I want to live in a cave. Bill Baker August 1, 2025 at 4:06 PM Me too, David. Sara and I have quite the collections of bears around the house, and I've begun to take on some of their habits. A cave and a long sleep (hibernation) sounds good about now. LOL Thanks for the comments, my friend. Bill

Victor Buhagiar July 31, 2025 at 3:38 AM Wonderful poem. Old life was much better really. Bill Baker July 31, 2025 at 9:02 AM I agree, Victor. The chaos at 20-30 was still exciting and fun, but at 80 it is not either anymore. Have a pleasant day, my friend. Bill

Deb M July 30, 2025 at 11:33 PM You released your inner caveman Bill….and did a beautiful job with this creative funny poem. I have one issue though……instead of a Mel Gibson Caveman photo l think it should be a full length Bill Baker Caveman photo in full dress !! Haha….Debx Bill Baker July 31, 2025 at 12:04 AM LOL, Deb. Hilarious! At30 or even40 I would be all in, but not at 80. Still giggling as I type. Thank you though for the smiles on my face and the wonderful support and friendship you given me over the years. You're the best! Big Hugs, Bill

Ghairo Daniels July 30, 2025 at 10:52 PM Yes, yes, yes ! A nice light feel for serious topics. Love the rhyming couplets & such an effective pic, Bill. I trust his anger will be transmuted by his living with nature. Best line - caveman not want to be a slave. Sometimes though, cavemen too can be slaves, metaphorically speaking. Have a beautiful day/night, Sir. Bill Baker July 31, 2025 at 12:05 AM Thanks for the visit and fun comments, Ghairo. Cheers! Bill
