Food For Thought Poem by Stanley Cooper
Food For Thought
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 time 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
A most enjoyable poem, an unusual subject but you've worked it well: -)
In hope the Gods would heed; but, they did not. Thanks for sharing.
'Is it really so depraving I like to eat a lot? The thought of food I’m craving Just ties me in a knot' sound like my eldest daughter, loves food, quick with humour, smiles a lot, and if thoughts were food she would never stop thinking :)
You have some very good thoughts here. Congratulations on having this chosen as poem of the day. I see you haven't submitted anything since 15 October 2012. I hope you are still with us and healthy at age 89. My favorite lines are the first two. That's exactly how I feel: Is it really so depraving I like to eat a lot?
Wonderful thoughts. Very unique, same time appealing. Beautifully knitted poem on a common theme, yet with a difference. Thoroughly enjoyed. X
