you may have seen my cave art

in a previous
incarnation, i lived in a cave
with my wife
and two children
in northern Spain.
you may have seen my art work
on the walls.
but my wife at the time,
Glenda
didn't appreciate it.
we'd have terrible fights
over my drawings.
she said the kids were having
nightmares with
all the killing portrayed
on the cave walls.
the arrows, and spears
stuck in large animals.
puddles of blood.
and then after i invented fire,
it got worse.
she said it was dangerous,
catching her
loin cloth on fire once
as i was grilling brontosaurus
steaks
and she was sauteing.
asparagus.
it was obvious we weren't
going to last very long.
i was such a neanderthal,
and she was paleolithic.
