Tardigrades Have a Super Power

You can boil them at 150 degrees C
Or deep freeze their butts
Or crush them flat
And don’t feed them for 30 years
They have shot them into space
But the tardigrades have survived it all

For they may be small 
Minute in fact with 8 legs
But they will be around 
Until the sun finally dies
The most indestructible creatures known
Moss pigs or spaces bears 
Whose super power is
Living forever more.
