The Horrid Voice of Science

"There's machinery in the butterfly;
 There's a mainspring to the bee;
There's hydraulics to a daisy,
 And contraptions to a tree.

"If we could see the birdie
 That makes the chirping sound
With x-ray, scientific eyes,
  We could see the wheels go round."

And I hope all men
Who think like this
Will soon lie
Underground.
