Aphid and Goliath



From molecules mingled and mated,
An insect slash man's been created
With eyes multifaceted
He won't care whose ass it is
He munches with mandibles mutated.

David Cairns

The Fly (Kurt Neumann, 1958).

    The fly-man takes leisurely lunches
    Where garbage he eats in great in bunches
    Then home to the Mrs.
    and he hopes for her kisses...
    What he gets is the press and some crunches

    The guy's in a bit of a bind
    A fly has a grip on his mind
    His thoughts, though they're fleeting,
    are on crap he'll be eating
    That's why he has axes to grind

    As a man he likes gourmet cuisine
    But as insect his tastes are unclean
    The ex-epicure
    Seeks the small of manure
    As the onlooker, queasy, turns green.

    "Small"?? "Smell!"

    In matters of diet and taste
    his appetite's highly debased
    His thrice daily courses
    are likely from sources
    that gastronomes find are a waste
