What if my bones were in a museum
Where aliens paid good money to see ‘em
And suppose that they put me together all wrong
Sticking bones onto bones where they didn’t belong!
Imagine phalanges, pelvis, and spine
Welded to mandibles that once had been mine!
With each misassemblage, the error compounded
The aliens would draw back in terror, astounded!
Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration
The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!
The museum would commission a model in plaster
Of ME, to be called ‘Evolution’s Disaster’!
And paleontologists there would debate
Dozens of theories to help postulate
How mankind survived for those thousands of years
With teeth-covered arms growing out of his ears!
Oh, I hope that I’m never in such a manner displayed,
No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.
