Evolutionary Limericks

  •  

    The annual Darwin Gay Ball
    Was a gala occasion for all.
    The Australopithecus
    Looked quite ridiculous
    Leaning, half-drunk, on the wall.

    Zinjanthropus, high on bananas
    Uttered forth a long chain of Hosannas.
    Although missing a link,
    He knew just what to think
    And went cruising for greener savannas.

    The Cro-Magnons (more agile than Lucy)
    Like their hunting and gathering juicy...
    The mating was prime
    And their dance, so sublime,
    Could out-monkey the funky Watusi.

    'Twas a lowbrow event; all the same,
    Proto-drag-queens competed for fame.
    The divine Homo Habilis,
    Hairy, but fabulous,
    Gave Knuckle-Dragging its name.

    Homo Sapiens' wisdom has wrecked us
    As the Darwinist doctrines infect us.
    Knuckle-draggers may dream,
    But bonobos now scream
    That the winner is: Homo Erectus !

  • Come on. Admit it.
    This is anthropologically inspired.
    Can't you even throw me a banana 4 this?
