THE ELITE

by Terry Olynik

I often marvel
At the accomplishments
Of we, the "elite"
Of the animal kingdom.
What other creature
Would have the ingenuity
Or for that matter
The incentive,
To turn the
Majestic fir tree
Into a telephone pole?

Welcome to Pathetic. This is well written and I truly appreciate the ironic humor in the last lines.

Terry, oh you got me and got me good with the last three lines of this poem. Indeed, I loved it and had to read it three times. Hmmm, and just how "elite" are we, me thinks. :) Kyle Anne
