Some Observations
on the Natural Sciences
Tigers
sleep best when fed,
with other
tigers in their bed.
Fish
that fly
try but can’t
stay in the sky.
Bats
avoid ships,
and look like mice
with wings and lips.
Dinosaurs?
Just bones
we use for
monster clones
All of these
I understand.
The one I can’t,
it's name is man.

Loved your 55 My Friend.
(Especially the ones that I only have to read once to understand because of my Non-Poetic mind.)
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Thanks all.

ReplyDeleteMe neither. Seems to be getting harder by the hour to define that creature.
