I was reading an article on Neanderthal man that said Neanderthals could not throw a spear. The first thing that came to my mind when I read that article was, if a monkey can fling poo, why can’t a Neanderthal fling a stick? After all, Neanderthal man is far more advanced than a monkey. Later the next day I was critiquing poetry and keeping the critiques to myself when the article I read on Neanderthal man struck me.

Monkey Flings Poo is a brevette poem; brevette poems consists of three words, a subject (noun), a verb (action), and object (noun), in this exact order. Centered for aesthetic symmetry the image is by me Josehf Lloyd Murchison.
