(Definitely wrote this after I pulled a muscle or stubbed a toe. It got me thinking about how humans are supposed to be the superior species of Earth. Yet, we are so easily injured and broken that I start to question that opinion. I mean, many people will be bedridden after a violent sneeze while some animals continue surviving with chunks taken out of their bodies.)
Stubbed toes and papercuts
Broken bones and gashes
Our bodies take all beatings
With skin that tears with ease
And bones that snap with force
Diseases hunt us in our sleep
To cripple our reserves
And sink us to the grave
Still we trudge upon this world
Crowing our superiority
As we hobble and limp away
Legends of Windemere 
Yikes! That sounds painful! Yes, we are fragile. Though I am amazed at what some people do who have lost limbs. Like runners who run on prosthetics.

There is a story on the news this morning about this happy aquarium fish who is over 100 years old. She seems active and happy to be there.

Doesn’t seem to suffer from stubbed toes. Search for oldest aquarium fish. That’s how it was headlined.
