Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Down From the Trees

A question that has always bothered man
Since we first figured out the layout of the land
Coming down from the trees
Becoming you and me
Have us humans ever really had a plan?

L Milton Hankins December 20, 2021 at 9:02 AM Sometimes I think the only plan we have is to destroy ourselves. Sometimes it seems that way. Then, again, we see some marvelous advancements in our culture and think...well, perhaps, there is hope! L Milton Hankins December 20, 2021 at 1:30 PM Me neither, but I'm holding out hope for the next generation! Jack Ellison December 20, 2021 at 10:20 AM There's still a chance but I'll probably not be around!!! Cheers!

John Lawless December 20, 2021 at 5:41 AM Well, Jack, I have had a "Banana Peel Theory" that explains "our" leaving the trees for many years. It has been scoffed at yet not disproved. Jack Ellison December 20, 2021 at 2:17 PM AHA! You have explained it Sir John! Something new I can tuck away in my vast knowledge! Thank you! John Lawless December 20, 2021 at 1:30 PM The banana peel theory states that the "we" carelessly discarded our banana peels, slipped on them and wound up earthbound.... Jack Ellison December 20, 2021 at 6:15 AM "A Banana Peel Theory"??? Please explain... LOL
