    Said the little Eohippus,
    "I am going to be a horse,
    And on my middle fingernails
    To run my earthly course!
    . . . .
    I'm going to have a flowing tail!
    I'm going to have a mane!
    I'm going to stand fourteen hands high
    On the Psychozoic plain!"

The racer and hack may be traced to one Horse;
So men were developed from monkeys of course,
Which nobody can deny.

In the Palaeozoic time,
And side by side in the sluggish tide
We sprawled in the ooze and slime.
