Mad Inventions. . We all have lightbulb eureka moments But some take them to the extreme How some things are conceived Could only come from a crazy imagination And a weird hapless dream . Created with good intentions To find solutions and make life easier Mindless inventions Often leave the creator With a hole in their pocket And egg on their face . They may have seemed a good idea at the time But specs for dogs and strange machines Only boggles the mind . Who are these people? Who think they are smart I hate to judge at least they tried But how sad when things Fall apart . But without such minds where would we be now Probably living in caves And throwing spears At wild beasts and cows. . Peter Dome©2020.

A well reasoned poem. Man must go for inventions. Maybe he they'll hit the jackpot. ~~

It's okay to "have a light-bulb eureka moment" I agree with you, some take ideas to the extreme. This made me smile and sigh, all at the same time. Poor baby in the photo. You are so clever and creative. :) Brandy

Great stuff. Glad it made you chuckle.I invented the cold water bottle, the rubber frying pan, so of thrown at someone it don't hurt so much.The uplifting invisible bra, the heated butter knife. want to invest?.haha. Thank you take care.
