“who’s who”
a monkey was once caged in a zoo
of Darwin he read so he knew
with brazen balls
he simply evolved
now he’s out looking in just like you
For five years the illustrious and regal
Charles Darwin, sailed on the Beagle.
A surveying ship,
Notebooks all a’rip,
Soon in battle with Wallace, so legal.
When Darwin revealed our connection
To apes via natural selection,
Some gibbered, “You devil;
How beastly to level
A charge that our creed needs correction!”
There once was a camel calf in the zoo
The adults had one hump; it had two
The female acted sly,
The male wondered why,
The reason, I knew and Darwin did to, do you?
Entry in the Zany Zoo contest
The creatures that live in the sea,
Are not like you or like me.
No taxes they pay,
They frolic all day;
Now which would the "smart" species be?

Has evolution
gotten bigger than God
With Darwin the prophet,
a wink and a nod
Has almighty reason
rechristened itself
To worship false dogma
—in spite of what’s felt
(The New Room: February, 2021)
Check out Darwin Barney's abbreviated slide and crawl into third
It's on YouTube, even Darwin laughed at himself, how absurd
For all the Blue Jays fans
Got them off their hands
Worth the admission, a fun spot in a dismal year for the birds

orchid has fascinated scientists
Charles Darwin wrote her up in a book in 1862
She is a complex flower, who has evolved
achieving self-pollination and cross-pollination
Delicate, aromatic and pretty.
She adapts her color shape and odor
Prefers to attract male insects
because she is a female?
Today’s blessing comes from Charles Darwin
who expressed it far better than I can….
when he said:
The love of all living creatures
is the most noble attribute of man….
And if I may speak for Mr. Darwin
who knew as we’ve evolved he would be remiss
If he didn’t add women and LGBTQIA+ people to that list.
Only me,
looking at the blue sky,
and the blue looking at me,
No doubts,
Only me,
lying on lavish grass and breathing
the smell of wet earth after rain,
No doubts,
Only me,
and my sweet pain reflecting
into each other’s eyes,
No doubts,
Only me,
and you kissing the
droplets of hidden desire,
No doubts,
Mr. Darwin claimed that we are descended from the apes!
In zoos you may see your kin in various species, sizes and shapes.
Verily, verily if this be true that we are related to the monkey,
Then, I reckon it could be said that 'I'm truly a monkey's unkie!'

Evolution, Darwin’s answer
to why we are all here
When, in the Bible, our existence
was already made clear
The missing link by scientists
will never be found
It was God, not nature, that created
man from the earth’s ground
Darwin, Satan’s hope
To evoke in man, spiritual doubt
The Bible, God’s Word
Truth we cannot live without

Darwin said we're animals;
And that we came from apes;
My God said we were in His image;
And I think it's great;
Yet but sometimes you know,
I act like a monkey;
Sometimes even smelling funky;
If you press me in my chest;
Even I will give a shout out,
even monkeys praise the Lord?

Boxed in a schizophrenic world
of bipolar attitude, drives
the swing-set up and down
sunny, rainy, switch, repeat
lights on
lights off
tall, small, skinny, fat
ever changing,
Ever Moving
Evolution on the rise
Darwin's birthday today
Darwin laughing in his box
Did he get it right?
hard to tell
on thing is for certain
things are for sure
changing
animal research...
understanding...empathy...
communication...
and man's languages...
victorian...biblical...
(not of nature's realm)...
human dialects...
their ideas...notions...dreams...
imagination...
just speeches...rules...
stories...scripts...scrolls...books and laws...
made to fit mankind...
language short changes...
and darwin was handicapped...
man's inferior

Darwin thought that the origin
Of the species was all in
Where the strong survived
And others have taken a dive
So I was thinking
Whilst at home drinking
What will we be like in a hundred years time
So that we will be primed
We’ll have a clamp hand to hold a phone
And a flat ear shaped for mobiles alone
Our voice tones will be tuned to phone use
With no need to repeat or make an excuse.

Music has a special taste
feelings lost in sound
Touching heard across the room
vision by the pound
References left unto themselves
choir boys in tune
Trading what they never had
tribute to the loon
One last chance to make the grade
masks come flying off
Darwin leaving Born in chains
climbing through the moss
Menageries have come and gone
kaleidoscopes diffused
Nomenclature chameleons
—confounded and bemused

Charles Darwin’s House
I was born in Darwin’s House,
After the Christmas of Fifty-Four,
Right on the Edge of Ilkley Moor,
Charles lived there, just a bit before.
St Winifred was its name in my day,
From Wells Terrace it evolved.
Darwin stayed there till the heat died down,
His works on Evolution solved.
Scientist, Biologist, very clever man,
His findings upset so many for so long.
Widely recognised as evolutions Bible,
So many swear, he got it wrong.
My Liege-
if you please,
I'd like to discuss the Darwinian siege.
Do you believe?
From the oceans we heaved,
as every creature you now see.
According to Darwin-
Humans and chimps- we are kin.
This I do say with a grin...
It is a discussion which can never win-
Or, is it God?
To this I give a nod
Yet some think it odd.
Does it really matter?
My Dear-
I am glad we are here
Upon this giant, rotating sphere,
And for that I shout a cheer!

Yesterday’s blessing came from Charles Darwin
who, you may remember, expressed it far better than I can….
when he said:
The love of all living creatures
is the most noble attribute of man….
And I spoke for Mr. Darwin
when I said knew through evolution he would be remiss
If he didn’t add women and LGBTQIA+ people to that list.
I didn’t add this to yesterday’s blessing
because I didn’t think I needed to…
but I fear some people have forgotten…
how we are creatures too.
Origin of the Species
We are recycled atoms
The scientists claim!
From the Big Bang
Imprisoned on this planet
By gravity.
These atoms join molecularity
To give life tangibility,
By separating the species
With appearance.
That was then
And this is now,
And how the species evolved;
"I think?"—
Darwin wrote
In his journals
While in the Galapagos.
And yet, irony persists?
The tree of life branches
With no answer,
As to who
Planted the
Seed!
It's all so wondrous, so
effervescent and fleeting, the banner
flown half mast, raised at half pride; the
Ante made
three times. Scorned; red
tide.
Hearts and diamonds- the effeminate: negotiate with
diamonds to ensnare the heart; hark.
the spade, the
club.
Shovel and blunt instrument, masculine and
black as the night sky.
Pens and swords waging war in perpetual bliss.
Kings and queens, jacks and
diminutive fiends, marching towards the
joke that only Darwin knows is funny.
