Focus the microscope a little closer, please

I’ve never observed a species such as these

Their method of consumption is quite crude

Their reproductive system . . . rather rude

Inefficient and unsuccessful despite its simplicity

Attribute this to self–destructive tendencies

A succession of splitting cells and self―replicating DNA

Mitosis, Meiosis, Prophase and Anaphase

It’s all too much to observe in one night

So put up the equipment and turn off the light

I’ve had enough of this species called man

And―before we leave―let’s not forget to wash our hands
