the latest cave man

they find
a one inch bone 
under a pile of old
dirt
and construct
a new
cave man
out of it.
ah ha, they say.
this one had a giant
forehead,
and although he was
slightly cross eyed,
he was very good at
cross word puzzles.
look at how
his tiny
finger bone curves,
it definitely
indicates
a writing skill,
gripping a pen or
pencil,
or in his case a long
sharp rock
or stick
that he drew in
the sand.
from the dna we can
tell that he
drank only water
and ate meat
after discovering fire,
inventing the wheel,
and possibly
bongo music.
