PROGRESS 



The Crab to Cancer junior gave advice : 



* Know what you want, my son, and then proceed 

 Directly sideways. God has thus decreed — 



Progress is lateral ; let that suffice.' 



Darwinian Tapeworms on the other hand 

 Agree that Progress is a loss of brain, 

 And all that makes it hard for worms to attain 



The true Nirvana — peptic, pure, and grand. 



Man too enjoys to omphaloscopize. 

 Himself as Navel of the Universe 

 Oft rivets him, — until he asks his Nurse, 

 Old Nature, for the truth ; and she replies : 

 ' Look back, and find support ; you march with Life's 



main stream. 

 Look on — be proud ; her future lies within your 

 dream.'
