When Poetry First Began
I could Google it, of course, and expand upon it then,
Upon another's theory of how poetry began.
The truth is no one really knows when poetry first started.
Those pre-historic folks who knew have eons ago departed.
So bear with me and I'll tell you what I firmly believe is true.
God put poetry into humans when the Earth was very new.
Mother Eve first sang sweet lullabies to her darlings, Cain and Abel,
While they fed their pet dinosaurs beneath the dining table.
Why would God leave the love of art out of the human heart
When he already knew to always put the horse before the cart?
Can you guess how dark the world would be with sadistic poetry ban?
Common sense tells me God installed it into Adam, the first man.
