Good evening, dear lady, how do you do?
I humbly present myself to you.
It's true. I just escaped from the zoo,
but I'm not a snake or ocelot,
and though, on my coat, you see a spot,
I'll give you everything I've got -
and while I have a tail, prehensile,
I have what you need - the essential.
So, put down that kitchen utensil.
My finger claws are all retractive.
So, let's get wild and interactive.
A neanderthal can be attractive.
=] mused by OldPoetMK =]
*feel free to substitute her/them/those for ‘his’
** it’s my cultural/sexual blind-spot.
A sex object suddenly comes into focus
we’re all prisoners of that old neanderthal lust
it’s tucked behind the lizard-brain rust
in ready reach, just wipe off the dust
Is it his shape, his walk, his fust
that makes your loins feel about to combust
get out you smooth, and win his trust
prepare your prey, however you must
to accept your dandy, randy and desperate thrusts
.

A song for this:
The Men of Your Dreams by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
Purple passionate kisses on my neck
Hugging my hips head on brown chest
Energy transferred in a chocolate scent
Rhythm disturbed by desires lament
Onyx heart so large black and bruised
Mahogany thoughts of love so true
Onions make tears just like you
Neanderthal fears from eyes so blue
Emerald envy inspired by smell
Song “You Send Me” casts a spell
In his heart is burning aggression
And violence is his lifelong confession
And sure he might wear nice shoes and a tie
But that's a masquerade mask to suit the lie
A barbarian in heart and mind
He rarely fits in with the civilized kind
Dancing on his victim's grave
He assuredly is a dastardly knave
Devilish desires feed his fury
Quelling the fire inside he seeks to bury
There is no sense in the violence
But also no peace in the silence
Your voice is not noise
Even if powerful people it annoys
If allowed to continue the meandering neanderthal
Will be the fall of it all
As Neanderthals, you must know
that, wherever you may go,
you will be hunted by the blokes
who describe themselves as modern folks.
With culture and books, they're so chill -
until...they begin to kill.
A Neanderthal
with intent on graffiti
dabbed a red nose daub
on stone face of granite stone
prints for nosy sleuth fiends
~ An Eight-Line Treatise on 'Settler Colonialism' ~
The Apache beat up on the Cheyenne
and the Iroquois on the Sioux
Mohawks ‘mohawked’ the Mohicans
Aztecs turned the Cree into stew …
Now Europeans are called ‘settler colonialists’
but who does America really belong to
Probably Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man
~ dispossessed by Indians too
The lost mirror of humanity’s soul, covered by helix threads
Or a creature who would destroy the wall of man and beast
Who would rip apart man’s olive crown for the kingdom of nature
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!
What a great physique
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 redeeming factors
Lighting a fire rubbing sticks together
And avoiding nuclear disasters
HEY! HEY!
Mr. Neanderthal Man
Have you been living under a rock
Or are you much like us guys today
With faults like the rest of the flock?
The secret to life is no secret at all
It's as simple as learning to speak or to crawl
When we master that
The rest is a snap
Erect we'll look less like a neanderthal
A Neanderthal me comes at night,
He’s storm and grumpy, an ugly blight.
You will not see him with human eyesight.
But he’ll be unkind, and I don’t mean slight.
A happy life is not available to all
Circumstances determine who's invited to the ball
The successful ones
Are ones with strong lungs
Saying, “Look at me! I'm your top neanderthal!”
Further to my friend's recent post
My son's friend threw a tantrum, hubby was the goat
She threw his meal against the wall
He was acting like a neanderthal
Expecting to be fed like a king in royal robes
Do you think neanderthals learned to tongue kiss
It would explain the seven billion people on the premises
If they just held hands
And touched other glands
But apparently the tongue was a sex organ causing bliss
