Weensy WonderA Poem by Doug BlairA new biological discovery hits the journals.Yep, they got me! Year of our Lord Two thousand twelve. Measured. Catalogued. Given the Latin handle.* Lecture forthcoming. Teensy jungle world All agreen with the wet Of Equator’s moods. Those people and their Great fuss! Caterpillar, salamander And horned beetle My dear neighbours For years. Long families of them! But the homo sapiens. So egocentric. Pity, I could take them To stanger critters still. Really. But I won’t show them All of my colours.
