FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Cartoon ©Copyright 2006 by Don Hunt Is it really so depraving,
I like to eat a lot?
The thought of food I’m craving,
just ties me in a knot

THAT’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

In times gone by, not in my day,
scholars taught the world was flat
For this they earned their scholars pay,
and they believed in all of that

THAT’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

He thought he sailed the Indian Ocean,
but found America by chance
Columbus had not the slightest notion,
how great this happenstance

THAT’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

There were prayers to many a deity,
to fill the peoples needs
They prayed with reverent piety,
in hope that Gods would heed

THAT’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Do we come from Adam’s rib,
or as Darwin claims from monkeys?
Can it be he was too glib
and perhaps a bit too funky?

THAT’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

So many of our fellow man,
we’ve often fought and killed
That started when the world began
and too much blood we’ve spilled

THAT’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT
