watching the animals
and their gross habits
for, as we all know
they care not who watches
their bathroom taking
or their love-making needs
yes, as I observe the animals
I'm convinced
we, mankind, are rightly superior

uh, as I watch
and judge the habits
of mankind
I'm truly, truly perplexed

Smiling....both a dilemma...
and an oxymoron at times, hey?

I so enjoy when Poets make me smile!

Lol.  Mankind is a curious lot.  Definately superior, but not neccessarily better off.  Scary to watch as well.  Enjoyable read.

I'm not perplexed at all.  Bathroom habits aside mankind is, in my opinion, not superior at all.  Still, there are the exceptions, thank goodness.

Those are your feelings. I feel we are superior to the animals. Thank you, Helen, for your input.
