Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Life Stumbles On, Folks Muddle Through

 	Missiles and bullets and bombs
            rain down from the sky
               
	We absorb the jaded reports
            how many injured, how many die

         Life stumbles on, folks muddle through
            most think the animals live in the zoo

Heidi Sands April 15, 2026 at 6:29 AM Good one Gershon. Tom's response has me laughing too. Lol ...but the zoo...yes I think many think just in a zoo. :)

Tom Cunningham April 15, 2026 at 12:28 AM At this rate we'll need bomb proof umbrellas. The world has become very unstable. Tom

Hilda Greenhough April 14, 2026 at 10:13 PM I like the clever rhyme in this couplet. May there be peace and no bombs.
