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.”
