Darwin was known to exhort
His old friends, with his solution
to the species' evolution:
“If you'll only lend an ear,”
he said, “it becomes so clear!
And it really all a cinch is-
Look at the Galapagos finches!
To allow the finch to breed
Every isle had its own need:
In one the bird changed its beak
Better to crack nuts he'd seek.
In another - dff'rent shade,
Better to hide in the glade.
And in a third – he changed his voice
To find a mate in all the noise!”
On and on, 'till they said, “Man!
Stop the talking, if you can,
We'll accept all that you say,
If you'll only go away!”
So, since no other choice exists,
We accept old Darwin's gist,
Except those who hate to see
That we descend from chimpanzees....
