Of Darwin and Lattes (Dance The Manta Ray)A Poem by Baby RicochetI spun this poem out of the Pixies song Dance The Manta Ray. I love the PixiesI was dancing with the Manta rays and fell in with the sharks We were looking for Galapagos The GPS went dark We sent a message homeward bound Picked up in India That big call center in the sky South of Siberia Old Darwin found Galapagos Before Starbucks showed up With Marine Iguana Lattes and seagull s**t syrup He just had a crappy compass and the royal navy Somehow they found Galapagos and fended off the scurvy Old Darwin wrote his science book of which is still in doubt The world is full of idiots Who want another route You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink Teach science to an idiot but you can't make him think
