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.”
