Just Stating the Obvious

when the night ends, morning Sun rises,
just as the day gives way back to night,
Obvious there are no surprises!

the river runs into the ocean,
flowing down many hills and bridges,
it is an obvious conclusion!

most birds lay eggs in their tree top nests,
they all must fly there to those branches,
that’s obvious, no reason to test!

baby is born of pregnant mother,
she carries him till month advances,
obvious! we know!  don’t we brother?

if gold coin drops from Eiffel tower,
crazy if you think you can find it,
that’s obvious, no need to hover!

if your wife smiles bright when home you come,
you must be prepared for expenses,
obvious for most but not for some.

a sharp arrow shot up must come down,
if lands on someone’s head they are dead!
obvious you will be talk of town!

tummy rumbles when you overeat,
to cover it you drag chair twice,
obvious, remember  to smile sweet!

You've helped me to understand the caliber of poem for the contest; though I've declined doing. Thank you for sharing your wittiness. Now, tell me please? How may I upload my bio picture? I keep following instructions and nothing.
