Caves

Did man at first crawl from the sea Or did he swing down from a tree Perhaps he came to mate with Eve Whatever it is you believe We know he didn't rant and rave First thing he did was find a cave He didn't know what was his role Just knew he'd need a hidey hole As we study our cavemen past It's plain to see the die was cast Caves have always been in our blood We start digging in our childhood We dig for ore and dig for shale And dig for pleasure with a pail Dig a hole just to pass the time Or write cave poems with a rhyme Leave a man alone with a spade He'll dig a hole like God has made There's no doubt that the man is brave Deep down inside he needs a cave You'll see that in our modern day As men in mansions work and play And try their sanity to save Then build themselves their own "Man Cave" July 31, 2016 For Contest "Caves"

The Man Cave - of course! I did not think of that but I'm so glad you did because you composed a delightful, fun, lighthearted poem that beautifully slides from Adam's cave to modern man's cave. I truly enjoyed this much, much and much ... CayCay
