Beetle And Clam Poem by gershon hepner

A beetle flying with a clam
explains the wide dispersal
of clams, which spread as fast as spam,
becoming universal.
Charles Darwin learned this beetle trick
from someone who sold shoes,
an amateur called Walter Crick,
who wrote to him the news
and sent the beetle in a box,
together with the clam;
the scientist declared; “This rocks! ”
and made a quick exam,
and wrote this up before he died,
and put some laurel leaves
inside the beetle box, and cried.
Now everyone believes
that species all are scattered by
a process not involving
Almighty God; they swim and fly
and carry on evolving.

Endnote
Though evolution’s based on chances,
the grandson of old Walter,
the Nobel Laureate called Francis,
explained how creatures alter.
