For eons dust has settled
over the history of man.
Sweep away as he may,
dust will forever remain.
They say every breed of
dog today is descended
from wolves 25,000
years ago.
Infants are born crying,
what then prompts them
to naturally form their
first smile?
Cicadas transform from
nymphs buried in the earth
seventeen years before
burrowing out above
ground into the light.
The recently launched
James Webb Telescope
promises to reveal
more images from
the Cosmos than
were possible before.
How much wood could
a woodchuck chuck if a
woodchuck could chuck
wood?
(There are no applicable
rules in English that say
a poem cannot end in a
riddle. Hey! Diddle,
Diddle. Live with it.
Class dismissed.)
