Best Neanderthal Poems

Like an archaic humanoid dinosaur
     you  plunder through life taking no prisoners,
             with your philosophical knuckles dragging on the ground.
You are a dying breed born of privilege and...

He stands there, stripped bare, shameless, nameless, voiceless 
Standing there, choice-less

No dignity, no vanity, no pity
No integrity 

No eyeballs so no stare, no flesh and no hair
And no underwear

No contract, no guarantee, no warranty
No appearance fee

He stands there, stripped bare, shameless, nameless, voiceless 
Sudden schoolboys-less

NEANDERTHAL

In times gone by, now recondite,
Neanderthal, erect, upright,
spoke softly, tones so lily-white,
and tried to put the world aright.

He taught us how the flame ignites
that wearing furs will warm the nights,
just why the rolling wheel excites,
and how the beveled flint stone bites.

Before the days of dynamite

You walk real low,
knuckles almost scraping the ground
Looking at the sky up high,
scratching your jutting brow bone

You're puzzled by that round thing,
which you can't reach
You don't understand at all,
how it could be so hot

Your belly is on the growl,
telling you it's time to go on...

If time travel were possible, 
the period I would want to visit most of all 
would be that time long ago, 
when Europe was covered with snow. 
When we walked Among the Neanderthal. 
Two different species of human, 
but still very much the same. 
Our...

IN THE BEGINNING THEY SAY MAN WAS WINNING
AND THEN I MET YOU, NOW I'M IN A ZOO
IN THIS PLACE WHERE I'M DWELLING
THERE'S REALLY NO TELLING
JUST WHAT I MIGHT DO TO GET INTO YOU
CAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A DOLL, OOH OOH OOH, 
I'M A NEANDERTHAL

I'VE DUMPED MY...

HEY! HEY!

Mr. Neanderthal Man
Where did you get those looks?
Hey pretty boy! Seen pictures of you
In my Ancient History books

WOW! WOW!

Unmatched in these here parts
Should enter a Mr. Universe Contest
In a new category set apart

BAD! BAD!

Didn't mean to offend you
You do have...

My skeleton never grows fat
I wonder who my stomach is feeding
This morning,
I had rocks for breakfast 
I owe my existence some roughage 
I’ve logged thousands of mileage
But my feet haven’t taken me everywhere
I’ve started counting down the years
And at 33, I can start to imagine...

Giraffes can grow up to eighteen feet tall
So pull down your shades, they can watch it all
The stripping, the foreplay
Super heroes you portray
Like Spideyman or a handsome neanderthal...

I often wondered how it would be
to live with a separate specie of humanity.
2% in either direction, be it higher birth or lower mortality rate.
2% was the simple equation that decided the Neanderthal's fate.
Had that simple 2% been attained by the Neanderthal,
they'd be with us...

The hairiest arm came out of the pot and slapped me.
I slapped it back, angry now, for without a head, 
How could the arm do that?

My husband jumped out of his recliner.
What are you making? He asked.
His voice was shaky.
It is always shaky when I...

The only other choice that the Neanderthals had 
was to retreat and to move on or they just might make us mad, 
and if we'd get mad, Neanderthal lives could be lost, 
If we wanted their territory, We'd just take it by force. 
The Neanderthals...
