The Continuing Evolution Of Man
Man began life as a microbe
Swimming in the sea
Evolved into a fishy thing
Swimming fast and free
Then for some odd reason
Decided to go ashore
Developed things to walk upon
Not two, not three but four
Finally standing upright
Though not quite standing tall
Developed into a hairy beast
Known as a Neanderthal
Man developed hunting skills
Discovered fire too
Then eventually became
Something that resembles me and you
But man continues to evolve
With greed their bellies grow big
The next step on the evolutionary ladder
Man will become a giant pig
And it won’t be a million years or so
That greedy man will grow big and fat
Man has already reached that stage
Every woman will tell you that
Swimming in the sea
Evolved into a fishy thing
Swimming fast and free
Then for some odd reason
Decided to go ashore
Developed things to walk upon
Not two, not three but four
Finally standing upright
Though not quite standing tall
Developed into a hairy beast
Known as a Neanderthal
Man developed hunting skills
Discovered fire too
Then eventually became
Something that resembles me and you
But man continues to evolve
With greed their bellies grow big
The next step on the evolutionary ladder
Man will become a giant pig
And it won’t be a million years or so
That greedy man will grow big and fat
Man has already reached that stage
Every woman will tell you that
