Origin of the Species
Darwin has a theory
but he didn’t think it through,
it simply isn’t possible
that fish made me and you.
I’ve studied every page he wrote
but I don’t understand,
why I see no breadcrumbs
on the fingers of my hand.
Genesis proclaims to all
that God created man
using his own image,
is that then what I am?
I’ve studied all that’s in his book
but I don’t understand,
why everyone’s so different
if that was what he planned.
Some people have a theory
that we came from outer space
and were colonized by aliens
to form the human race.
I’ve listened to the stories
but I don’t understand,
with nowhere left to park on earth
where did their spaceships land.
Now I have got a theory,
you can read it in my book,
for "Ivor’s Ramblings" tells you
if you should take a look.
Just study every page I wrote
and soon you’ll understand,
that perhaps it doesn’t matter
………if you share a poet’s hand!
