FAREWELL TO BOS
Did man or God create the mammal
The cow, the goat and even the camel,
The whale, the seal, the walrus too
The rabbit, the gopher and the gnu
And all the creatures both great and small
With homo sapiens lord of all?
Man tamed the dog and bridled the horse
And split the atom with terrific force.
But food, his drink and power too
Upon the cow, his rise is due.
Their service now is all but spent
As chemic man’s synthetic bent.
