Human Is It To Humour

Lesser chimps bow down to alpha hunks tail, A filly doe fawns over horny stags, Show willing hinds to the dominant male, Poor is pitted to please podgy pay-bags. Man, an attired ape flaunting bigger brain, What pains he piles pleasing all power and pelf! A smarmy spoon that knows little restrain In matters that would dwarf his puny self. If a man no whit more than a proud toad Pretends to be an alpha lion king, He knows more than enough it's pretty odd, He's a cat caught cringing in circus ring. If bowing to hefty weights be human, Humouring lofty heights' no less common. ___________________________________________________ Sonnets | 02.06.09 |
