What if my bones were in a museum,<br /> Where aliens paid good money to see &#039;em?<br /> And suppose that they&#039;d put me together all wrong<br /> Sticking bones to bones where they didn&#039;t belong!<br /> Imagine phalanges,pelvis,and spine<br /> Welded to mandibles that used to be mine!<br /> With each misassemblage,the error compounded<br /> The aliens would draw back in terror, astounded!<br /> Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration,<br /> The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!<br /> The museum would commission a model in plaster<br /> OF ME, to be called,&quot;Evolution&#039;s Disaster!&quot;<br /> And paleontologists there would debate <br /> Dozens of theories to help postulate<br /> How man survived those thousands of years<br /> With teeth covered arms growing out of his ears!<br /> Oh, I hope I&#039;m never in such manner displayed,<br /> No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.<br /> -Bill Watterson(Calvin and Hobbes)
