THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
An Ape with a pliable thumb and big 
brain, 
When the gift of the gab he had managed 
to gain, 
As a Lord of Creation established his 
reign. 
Which nobody can deny. 
But I’m sadly afraid, if we do not take 
care, 
A relapse to low life may our prospects 
impair; 
So of beastly propensities let us beware. 
Which nobody can deny. 
Their lofty position our children may lose, 
And, reduced to all-fours, must then 
narrow their views ; 
Which would wholly unfit them for filling 
our shoes. 
Which nobody can deny. 
Their vertebrae next might be taken away. 
When they’d sink to a shell-fish or spider, 
some day. 
Or the pitiful part of a polypus play. 
Which nobody can deny. 
Thus losing Humanity’s nature and name. 
And descending through varying stages 
of shame. 
They’d return to the Monad, from which 
we all came. 
Which nobody can deny.
