Evolution #2

Evolution #2

I've heard we swam the ocean
As just a single cell
And then our cell got cancer
Which changed it very well.

We multiplied in number
But, yet, we swam as one
And then deformed our bodies
Until a fish was done.

But Nature wasn't satisfied,
It changed our fins and tail--
Mutation even changed our lungs--
For Land we then set sail.

And so on through the ages
We sometimes found it best
When we survived because we were
So different from the rest.
