Dragonfly: You Win
Humans have skeleton inside
But your bone structure is outside
Our soft tissue is much exposed
But yours is all tightly enclosed
Our skin loses our body heat
But your thick shell does insulate
We struggle with the climate change
But to you it is nothing strange
We eat stuff that has long been dead
But you eat living things instead
Our flying uses combustion
But your wings use respiration
Now I mull over all of this
You have it right and us amiss
The fossil record shows it clear
For three hundred million year
You did adapt not disappear
But we humans are nowhere near
Our species on the edge we fear
