You see, The first evidence we have Of anything we could quantify As being akin to surgery Are fossil records Of skulls baring marks Which indicate tool usage. These marks from simple holes Driven into these skulls, Likely made to try & deal with the mind Or some ailment of the brain. Thoughts, "evil spirits."
But, one must ask, "From where did they get these ideas?"
The woodpecker? The first surgeon?
Spoken by a tree, "******! Come see! There's pests about me, But these branches grow outwards only, Yet inwardly!"
Spoken by a bird, "Look, tree! The monkeys are walking! I wonder what they're thinking?"
