It's Change...

(A rather amusing poem from one of the text books of our school children)

Mum, I don't want to go to school today,
'Cause I fear our world is in decay.

I feel my teachers are part of the plot,
I'm the only one who sees through the rot.

Scientists are cloning pigs and sheep,
Saying, it's change – a quantum leap.

Biologists are making stem cells grow,
Saying, it's change – the way to go.

Geologists are finding cracks in our earth,
Saying, it's change – predicting its birth.

Archaeologists are digging up fossils and ones,
Saying, it's change – time for clones.

Yes, scientists are causing me great concern,
Giving us kids too much to learn!
