It Happened Like This
Listen to poem:
They conquered land before habitations --
Viridiplantae or, simply, plantae.
It was swell: Oxygen fungitations.
Until arthropods assumed their stations
(Or, perhaps, eight-legged crustaceans).
They conquered land before habitations --
Those rude, plated pests swarmed the green nations:
An ever eating, egg laying mess -- still,
It was swell: Oxygen fungitations.
Old root fauna demanded cessations;
And, therein, they devised a cunning skill:
They conquered land before habitations --
Placate those fleshy abominations
With sexy flowers and sweet nectar treats.
It was swell: Oxygen fungitations.
The bugs went wild with mushroom gyrations --
Until the Vegans collected their eats....
They conquered land before habitations --
It was swell: Oxygen fungitations.
