Once upon some time ago,
About four billion years or so,
Conditions were just right on Earth.
Conditions that would aid life's birth.
It started in a pool of slime,
Or something even grosser.
Monerans started to take shape, or
At least a little closer.
They functioned and they organized,
Until they formed a blob.
The mighty protozoan! With
Eating as its only job.
And then a strange occurrence, as
Some of the blobs took root.
And plants began to spring up,
From dirt and clay and soot.
And just like these plants' branches,
Life progressed in several paths.
With many different changes,
From mutatious aftermath.
And then the blobs formed bodies,
With backbones soon to follow.
The fish were soon as complex as
The water still would allow.
But then there came a tadpole,
Who happened to grow limbs.
He gloated 'fore his friends,
Although his strut was flimsy.
He moved up onto dry land,
And soon he missed the bogs,
Until he met a lady walker, and
Then the world had frogs.
And from the frogs came reptiles,
And from the reptiles, birds,
And ugly, hairy mammals,
That tend to move in herds.
But then a mammal called the ape,
(Imagine if you can.)
Began to begin thumb wars,
And soon the world had man.
Over time this man increased
Neanderthal intelligence,
In leaps and bounds he jumped over,
The technological fence.
And so we find in present day,
Concluded from these facts,
A developmental peak called Tschuk!
The evolutionary max!
