Tell Me, Mr. Darwin

The creatures that live in the sea,
Are not like you or like me.
No taxes they pay,
They frolic all day;
Now which would the "smart" species be?

Hi Bob, this poem was not received as an entry to the Sea Tales Limericks contest. Perhaps you didn't submit it properly? I'm sorry I didn't receive it because it's a great poem!! Love, carolyn

I don't know who Vera Selena Hinshaw is but she has a great sense of humor...great work. Thanks for the comment on my work"Disappearance" which was about my posting a poem and it went into cyberspace and not on my list of poems. I love the great humor in which you read it. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
