  2. That verse has quite the kick in it.

    Btw, if a math limerick converge to constitute a “limesrick”, would a biology diverge to constitute a “clinesrick”?

  3. I thought you once promised us about ‘Doc Fodor’: “We’ll hear no more about him on this website”

    😉

  4. I think the last line would have an improved cadence if it were

    “And that’s why the thing’s so damn tall!”

    Ever a critic. 😀

  5. There once was a blog named “Why
    Evolution Is True” written by
    a fellow named Jerry
    Coyne who wouldn’t marry
    the truth with ineffable lie.

  6. There once was a doctor named Jerry,
    Who said, “evolution’s not dreary.
    It works for the gnu,
    Kittehs and us, too.
    To think otherwise is quite scary.”

    Still working on a better rhyming word than “dreary”.

  7. A science writer I’d join
    Announced “The truth is now moyne,
    Evolutionary cash
    Is the truth and no trash,
    I pay in legitimate Coyne.”

  8. That’s great! I want to join in…

    Several species of butterfly
    Look the same to the untrained eye
    We know what it must be
    The answer is mimicry
    But to Fodor this just doesn’t fly

    1. Darwinism has gone on too long
      Natural selection is wrong
      It’s not either / or
      So no selection-for
      Useless traits are just carried along

  9. Said a Fodor: “selection is bunk
    Since its very conception it’s stunk.”
    Said a beast: “Well, dear me!
    I suppose that might be
    But then who the hell made me a skunk?”
