A Homo Primer
There's little Lucy she's traveled afar
from her family Australopithecus,
there's Desperate Dan, the Neanderthaler
and his flower-powered tough, kind, Missus.
Little Lucy would tend monkeys in zoos
and groom and care for em all very fairly,
reason with em and speak their lingo too
and reckons her ancestors were, our, fairies...
There's H. Habilis, quite the handyman,
but he can't match Homo Erectus for speed,
who sped from Africa near gained England
but stayed in Spain and would view us as a, feed...
And the Desperate Dans? Those tough roustabouts?
well, it used to be they got loads of bad press,
we'd shout " Neanderthal! " to put boys down
but I've dreamt of their gentle manliness...
