Many a True Word!

MANY A TRUE WORD!

"Many a true word spoken in jest."

When was Mankind at his best?

Rising to two legs was a gain

But now we're sinking back again!

Did we swing down from the trees

To merely live a life of ease,

Crouching over a little screen,

In a shape reminiscent of the Pleistocene?

That noble creature, centre-stage

Belongs to a much less 'civilised' age,

But did his sons grow extended thumbs,

Stunting the growth of their craniums,

Gazing, with hypnotised satisfaction,

At a little screen, which breeds inaction?

Oh the curve of that human graph!

If it wasn't so sad it would make us laugh.
