I'm still trying to unlock the code, Soren.......
Thank for the read Dave. You mean the genetic code? The said they unlocked that some years ago. The only other code has the key in the comments about the poem. Many peoples names are not on here, I was going to put yours but couldn't find a rhyme and ran out of space.
I didn't know you were capable of BS, Soren; anyway I like to remain undercover, incognito and all that.
Must have been a monumental task assembling that list and I remain unconvinced there is no hidden code in there somewhere. Mind boggling.
As I read this poem I kept wanting to sing it to the tune of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire". You can read it slowly and marvel at the accomplishments of each individual, or read it fast and be overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what humankind is capable of. So creative dear friend, you always amaze me.
Thank you so much Bella. Yea I remember that song as a flash from the past. Some how it may have been lodged in my brain as a seed. Thank you again dear poet, hope you will be writing another gem of your own again soon.
There's a line missing. What rhymes with Barrett??
It is interesting how a list can become a poem, or a sculpture, and take the mind and imagination places. A poem with one verb. Sweet.
Thank you so much for the read and review. Yes they make art out of garbage. I appreciate your comments.
Amen! to that last line
such a fun read
'Doris Day' eh? lmoa
thank you, put a smile on my face
line after line
Thanks L.B. for the read and comment. This is where wandering thoughts can go.
