We'Re Not Like Them!

Who cares if the road winds or wends
so long as I step with my friends?
Quit hawing and hemming!
We are not the lemmings
who blindly fall off to their ends.

I love it! This is excellent and is packed with logic and reason. Humans are supposed to have greater thoughts; however, there are times when we are left wondering of its quality, or when whence it came. Great job! Joseph

I had to look up "lemmings" to learn they were a type of rodents, Gerard. Good work! There were many awesome entries. Congratulations on your success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
