the DARWIN OF BEANS is basically cheap,
a cut-rate, of course, of DARWIN COMPLETE
who’d monkeys made lines of, barnacles brined with,
the THEORY OF SOMETHING WITH NATURE defined, when

DARWIN COMPLETE was aboard the ship beagle
(the year before) brought with him twenty-three sheep, who
IF YOU ARE SAILING the world around making
a list of all animals much better slaves will

for sheep are forthright, with fury, and bright,
and know all the knots, and won’t fill with fires,
capsizing curse, or panic, for first,
the common, the characteristics of herds

they listen and load, and amazon coped with
(the heat and the wet and the insects and goats with)
THAN WHAT YOU WOULD WANT if (BETTER) you saw them
shuffling on moors or in fields or in boxes

DARWIN COMPLETE was successful in theory,
but didn’t distribute flies enough fees for —
the cost of the trip didn’t offset with midges,
and ADMIRAL COBB had him fired from the business

DARWIN OF BEANS is stupid and stringy,
and doesn’t know one thing of NATURE, but being
collected (had) masses in africa afids,
he’d (named, been) with businessmen efficient at taxing

taxing is taking a briefcase or snake, and
stapling it onto a cardboard that’s sprayed with
blue (call it) dye, that’s special for typing
two (say of snails), your species defining

BLUE, CALL IT DYE, is a term (CALL IT) science,
but rare (is) it only from cuttlefish grinded
(comes) and COMPLETE hadn’t provided (for) been
by businessmen who’d pre-determined defeat (his)

what price is it pride? the beagle’s first ride
(that’s what they called it) was sabotaged by
BRUCE (he’s been mentioned, the BROCOLLI friend of)
who DARWIN COMPLETE (‘s daughter’d) rejected
