EVOLUTIONARY UPDATE

Oh, when did evolution end
Or was it just a passing trend
That ran its course and then got worse
Or is it just a fading curse

For monkey’s would deny such kin
That say they are the root of men
For even the most vile Jackals
Ever put their foes in shackles

And yet these homosapiens
Claim they’re where evolution ends
That should there be a fall from grace
There’s nothing that could take their place

They have no clue the cats are waiting
And purring, mewing traps they’re baiting
Indoors, outdoors, all are feral
And “owners” all over a barrel

The fox is sly, the bear a brute
But kitty cats are oh so cute
And dogs, poor fools, will do as told
As long as kitty refills their bowls

If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes? lol at your description of the difference between puppies and cats. Just look at a cat and see who looks away first. Aloof, they are and for good reason.
