Jim Javaman, Earl Earlyman
and Ping Pekingman
having a picnic on an island in an ancient lake
An argument breaks out. Earl brains Jim.
Jim doesn't move. Ping, who's a little quicker
on the uptake, starts digging a hole. Later, they
find that Jim's skullcap makes a wonderful aerial
toy and so they hurl it back and forth
as the kids run up from the beach. Later, passed
from hand to hand, generations through time out of mind,
the relic winds up on the desk of one Eugene DuBois.
The eugenics bubble of
Eugene DuBois
The early engines of Eugene he was an agent
Sent by the spymasters of the past, in order to
Disinform us and throw us off the scent
To help create a scientific culture in which the
Anachronisms are ignored like the ancient electrodes,
Machined metal, Ukranian loops, and so forth.
Oh, the ingenuity of Eugene
Oh, Eugene and the Engines of Darwinism.
