Poetry by Carl Hubrick

Although traditions have we many
and technical skills beyond compare,
despite our thoughts and ideas aplenty
stored in computers everywhere,
’tis best at times to just remember,
and to ourselves gently remind,
that following us close in evolution
swings the chimpanzee with his
bare behind.
