Neanderthal was strong and brave;
He dragged the damsel to his cave.
She feared the woolly mammoth more
Until the wolf, he locked the door.

As sick as our secrets, truths we dread,
Things we ever leave unsaid,
Skeletons swept beneath the bed.
Neanderthal may not be dead.

She never knew she had a choice;
He didn't even hear her voice.
This man, who didn't walk upright,
He turned her days to darkest night.

As sick as our secrets, truths we dread,
Things we ever leave unsaid,
Skeletons swept beneath the bed.
Neanderthal may not be dead.

He didn't beat her up with fists,
But she was helpless to resist.
They never found the missing link;
His only mistress was the drink.

As sick as our secrets, truths we dread,
Things we ever leave unsaid,
Skeletons swept beneath the bed.
Neanderthal may not be dead.

He blamed it on his constitution;
Others called it evolution.
But a genuine inspection
Showed unnatural selection.

As sick as our secrets, truths we dread,
Things we ever leave unsaid,
Skeletons swept beneath the bed.
Neanderthal may not be dead.

Neanderthal Poem





Forty thousand years ago,
When Europe was a land of snow,
And mammoths roamed the permafrost,
Two Stone Age hominids got lost.

With ease (both being broad and stocky),
They scrambled over ice all rocky.
A blizzard worse than they could brave,
Made them shelter in a cave.

They'd failed to find a scrap to eat,
The howling snow had got them beat.
They set a fire and sat all day,
Their tummies rumbling in dismay.

'Twas then that one Neanderthal
Looked with hunger at his pal.
Slavering as he licked his lips,
He gazed upon those meaty hips.

Picking up a piece of rock,
He gave his mate a mighty knock.
He cut off slices from the bum,
And on the fire he cooked his chum.

Finishing off the meat he'd served,
He thought a moment and observed:
"No greater love has friend for me,
Who lays his life down for my tea."
