upright stand to wise
copy crocodile crawl craze
far-off fads fade fast
Note:
My medical colleague in Malaysia advised me to start a fling with Crocodile Crawl in Singapore, as a Birthday Bonanza. With my frequent flare of osteoarthritis (despite the total knee replacement four years ago), he though I could still crawl at 76 years. As a counter joke, I replied I might need his girl friend’ sanitary to pad all my joints. I wrote this haiku to remind him that we evolved from homo erectus (standing upright) to sapiens (wise) over such a prolonged time.
