Thought I'd try a little Shakespeare.

The Turn of the Shrew

With the turn of the shrew,
old becomes new,
and the world sees a better time.

So get your shrew driver,
your just-in-time arriver,
and start righting some rhyme.

When dinosaurs came due,
it was the lowly shrew,
that lived for years underground.

Jump started the pace,
of the mammalian race,
and our time to come around.

But time has its sway,
and there comes a day,
when the world turns on its axis.

Events come into play,
when the old has seen its day,
that were meant to tax us.

But rhyme is not enough,
when times get tough,
and the shrew warns of our fate.

Are we the right stuff,
do we have enough,
to put aside our hate?

Before it is too late,
and the turn of the shrew,
comes around again.

How clever of you !! Ronald, I love the way you use humor and rhyme to captivate. Draw us in, so we won't miss the central message, which could not be more important: stop hate!! Have a safe and rejuvenating holiday and a better new year, 'Pea' <3

Can we put aside our hate? You ask a most complicated question, Ron. It seems that no matter how educated we become and no matter how much we bring people together from all cultures that we still find a reason to hate. Since I believe that hate is born from fear, I suppose that the trick is to find a way to eliminate all fear. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Take care,
Sherry

Thought-provoking, Ron. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Most excellent "shrewd" shrew poem. I never knew that the shrew had such a survival history but, hey! That's what makes it a survivor.

Clever and wise,with a message to pondor. However,I believe in Christmas which is love so hate has already been dealt with if we choose to believe.

Love and Blessings Ron,
Eileen
