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

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

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

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

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.

Countryside is much better than a cave. I would not like to live in big city. Interesting read!
