Get Ready for History Rewritten-in Hysterical Rhyme!
In book two of the Wisdom of Beasts series, step into a world where prehistory is skewered, and modern absurdity is ancient prophecy. The Wisdom of Beasts and Cavemen is an audacious collection of short stories written in rhyme that challenges everything you thought you knew about evolution, civilization, and the eternal struggle between humans and nature.
Prepare to embark on a journey through time and imagination, spanning topics from the Ice Age to the future. Discover the true, often irreverent, origins of modern life. Topics include:
Ancient Innovation: Learn how the defiant youth Sammi walked to Alaska, smelling freedom, and how cavemen developed the world's first successful enema (Medical Water Pressure).
The Dawn of Society: Trace the invention of language from a young scribe named Yoo Hoo, who tried to teach cave kids their letters using the Boogeyman and fire (The Letter B, The Letter F). Witness the surprising shift in courtship when Romance, American Style replaced 'Head-Bashing' with the dreaded expense of weddings.
Irreverent Science: Uncover the real reason the great Ice Age beasts vanished-it wasn't just climate change, but the colossal amount of greenhouse gas produced by soaring mammoth numbers after cave girls popularized the Sabretooth necklace. And find out why early man stopped slouching: standing straight was essential, because Slouching was a goblin trait.
Social and Political Satire: Deters tackles contemporary concerns with a prehistoric twist, exploring the dangers of Misinformation, the partisan bias of Fact Checkers, and the uncanny parallels between modern credit card debt and the exploitation found at The Company Store.
This work of fiction promises to entertain and provoke, offering detailed, rhyming commentary on everything from the downfall of Flat Earth Theory and the bizarre consequences of A.I. Brain Transplants, to the strange fate of the cuddly Sea Sponge.
Dive into this unique book and discover the profound, often ridiculous, truth hidden beneath the layers of history-all captured in unforgettable rhyme.
