A Caution To Everybody

Ogden Nash

 Next Poem          

Consider the auk;
Becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly, and could only walk.
Consider man, who may well become extinct
Because he forgot how to walk and learned how to fly before he thinked.

    Just came across this poem and honestly, I'm not very impressed. The lines about the auk becoming extinct and man possibly following suit sound a bit too simplistic for my taste 😕 Not really my cup of tea 🍵
