What Defines You

I think; therefore, I am
  No, you breathe --
  therefore, you are 

I think; therefore, I am
  No, you eat --
  therefore, you are

I think; therefore, I am
  No, you drink water --
  therefore, you are  

I think; therefore, I am
  No, you have mass
  and occupy space --
  therefore, you are

I think; therefore, I am
  No, you text and tweet --
  therefore, you are

I think; therefore, -- Y-A-W-N
  No, you sleep --
  therefore, you are

G'day Gershon … whatever we do that's right, it appears to come with thought. Whenever something goes wrong; we weren't thinking - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Simply beautiful and beautifully simple. Much can be achieved with purpose Poem doesn't read like he slept with a Thesaurus. Bravo

'Thesaurus' had too many syllables for him, although heard he made some moves on diplodocus. Thanks, Poet. Appreciate your encouragement! Courage and Joy, Gershon

Too funny for my own good, sometimes, as my family reminds me so often... Oh yeah, they substitute CORNY for funny, don't they?! LOL. Thanks, Ann. ~ Gershon
