When We Were Proteins
In the warm air
Buyer, beware!
Lurking there,
In despair...
(if you dare)
Is the island's largest bear.
In the still night
Do not take fright!
For we might
Discover flight
(Lose our sight)
In the forests o so bright.
By the dry lake
Do not catch hake
For goodness sake!
Just take a break
Observe the rake
Hidden in the birthday cake
Up an old oak
Hear the frogs croak
As they choke
And even revoke
All trial leads to smoke
Among the pious countryfolk
Deep in our souls
We find long poles
Wedged in the holes
Filled with hot coals
And...it hurts!
