Wormy Satire


In rib-less invertebrates,
The female of the species
Was created by taking out
One of the ten hearts,
Regenerationally cloning the tissue,
From dark matter in between.
And then finally, whining a rusty gear
Into the primordial blow hole.
(Which, of course, doesn’t exist today.
But you surely get the point.)
And this was all done to punish
The asexual and contented nature
Of the wormy ones.
