The Horrid Voice of Science

"There's machinery in the
           butterfly;
      There's a mainspring to the
           bee;
There's hydraulics to a daisy,
      And contraptions to a tree."

"If we could see the birdie
           That makes the chirping sound
With x-ray, scientific eyes,
      We could see the wheels go
      round."

And I hope all men
Who think like this
Will soon lie
Underground.
