LINES INSPIRED BY A GRAFFITO
IN _OATH OF FEALTY_ BY NIVEN & POURNELLE

Think of it as evolution in action:
Nature cares nothing for your introspection.
She has far cruder tastes in vivisection,
Which don't give either of you satisfaction.

Hegel be hanged! It's not a contradiction.
Think of it as evolution in action:
Call it a conflict or a counteraction,
Collisions needed for lubricious friction.

It's lunchtime. Stuff your mouth with mame-lokshn
And feel your paunch expand with each contraction.
Think of it as evolution in action.
Don't giggle, or you'll spew the whole concoction.

And if you find the only sure distraction
Leads first to rage and then to self-destruction,
Take comfort in the obvious deduction:
Think of it as evolution in action.
