From the primordial ooze
Up climbed a slthering mess,
Embryonically disfunctional
(Just a slow learner, I'd guess).

But up it did seep anyway
Like the scum to the cauldron's rim,
To evolutre it's lowly state
To become a renewed creature grim.

It's self identity was confused
It knew not if it came or went,
And so it was awkward in motion
With hesitations motion, much spent.

So it settled as a puddle on the couch
Where it's thoughts would be muddled by brew,
Sensory-stirred by the light giving box
Transmitting sounds, and pictures to view.

But from such a spector, I must detach
To vernture out into to the cold world,
For every species must prove itself
Or into the black hole of extinction be hurled.

So from the dwellings opening I peer out
Startled by some pious bells chiming,
How hung over could I be? It's not Monday yet-
So I slither back, onto the waterbed, I'm climbing!
