Thank goodness they can’t read
Animals don’t fight in groups
Thank goodness they have no parties
Animals don’t fail
Thank goodness there are no teachers
Animals don’t sin & repent
Thank goodness there are no preachers
Animals are not pervert
Thank good ness there’s no sex-education
Animals are healthy
Thank goodness there are no doctors
Animals are happy
Thank goodness they have only intuition, no morals, no dogmas
Animals are best governed by laws
Thank goodness there is no government
Animals don’t hide anything
Thank goodness there are no laws to make them do so
Animals don’t commit crimes
Thank goodness there are no lawyers and judges
Animals don’t pray
Thank goodness there are no gods!
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
