Poem
My eldest sister Amélie Beth... ever the amateur family entomologist Upon texting her a picture (countless moments ago since October ninth) unfamiliar delicate looking critter - (seen inside the apartment many times), she quickly identified crane fly agilely affixed to lampshade. I figuratively tip hat at Tipulidae long legged dainty insect poised to strike proboscis, where adults buzzfeed on nectar from flowers or other outdoor plants unlike larvae whose diet constitutes decaying wood and vegetation. Said winged six-legged invertebrate of the class Insecta resembles a mosquito on steroids, and can freak people out, crane flies pose absolutely zero harm to bipedal hominids i.e. Homo sapiens. Detriment to human beings ought not serve as benchmark to assess purposefulness regarding all creatures large and small, rhetorical question cometh your way: how came man/woman kind as arbitrary arbiter determining which animal and/or plant species can claim their sweepstake linkedin with world wide ecological web? If assigned role of divine creator, (atop egg shaped noggin of mine thorn of crown yours truly would don) dutifully, eagerly and immediately trumpet, whereby naked ape relegated to dung heap feasted upon courtesy voracious grubs chief among them the Alaskan Bull Worm. Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness in sync with inalienable rights decreed toward all flora and fauna except nasty horrible brute loosing wanton cruelty upon planet bajillion dollar bounty on her/his head plus forced to eat Peruvian puff peppers, which measures 16 million Scoville units (this drake just joshing you) if she/he violates trespassing code compromising, jeopardizing, or yawping indignities heaped against the existence of any organism (except haughty human beings) entitled to live upon oblate spheroid. Invariably survival of the fittest will decree dominance of one or another living entity unless robots take over the world.
