The Amoeba Has It Made

The Amoeba Has It Made By Elton Camp It need do but little to amaze Biology students always praise “Oh man, I can see it moving. The little dude is really grooving.” There on the microscope slide The tiny critter does now glide In nature found most everywhere The amoeba exists without a care It lives and does just so very well Although it has but a single cell Its food is easily enough found And to eat, it just flows around Amoeba’s nucleus is its “brain” From complexity it cannot gain To have sex it has never tried To reproduce it need only divide Moral sense Amoeba does lack Nothing tells it how it should act There’s no tiny preacher to tell “It’s my way or you’ll go to hell.”
