In Apparent Dismay

In apparent dismay
my friend, Bobby May
wrote that people now say
man came from monkeys...
which didn't use to be the way
that we thought of our stay
here on Earth
  ~ where you and I once held sway

Alexis Y. Date: 11/6/2019 9:48:00 AM Lol! Gershon, I read Bobby's poem and I'm sure he's going to love this. It changes constantly, where folk think man comes from. Who knows what it will be next, Maybe something interesting and intelligent like................You got inspired to write a good poem. Have a great day my friend:-) Alexis Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/6/2019 1:54:00 PM You know, I didn't even realize that Bobby's last name appears in the title of this one, in the word 'dismay!' Thanks, Alexis. Best wishes, Gershon

Kim Rodrigues Date: 11/6/2019 7:57:00 AM Funny how that word is both an insult to many and a lesson taught in school. Hmm... Funny write though Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/6/2019 8:33:00 AM Guess it depends on the context and the intonation... Kind of like "Make America Great Again," eh?! Thanks, Kim! :) gw
