Putting Descartes Before The Horse Poem by Kevin Crinks

Putting Descartes Before The Horse

Rating: 5.0


Who are we?
What have we done?
Where did we come from?
When was it begun?
Why am I asking
Daft questions like this?
Is it better to wonder
Or just to exist?
I'm getting a headache
As I ponder my being
So I'll dropp metaphysics
And believe in just seeing

Of course you know that Descartes was famous for saying: I think, therefore I am. Well, did you ever hear how Descartes met his end? A friend of his came up to him one day and asked, Say, Old Chap, do you think I'm good looking? Descartes replied: I think not. and POOF! he disappeared just like that!
