The Thai tie tying race is on
Four tying Thais for honours vie
The title’s never yet been won
… It’s always been a tie

The spiders formed a handball team
They played them all from rock to sty
Yet suffered only one defeat
And that was ’gainst the octopi

The evolutionist engaged me in a conversation
He spoke of inconsistent things like nature conservation
If ‘survival of the fittest’ seals the species’ destinations
Why do they try to save the weak for future generations?
