Depth of a Man
(During contemplation)
What are we? Thought the flea,
there must be more than what we see.
(With careful consideration)
Am I free? Thought the bee,
and is there much aside from thee.
(Before deep meditation)
Who holds the key? Thought the manatee,
pondering while in the sea.
(With loving admiration)
How can this be? Thought the tree,
that so much life depends on me.
(With limited cognition)
What’s on T.V.? Asked he to she,
then walked off to take a pee.
