1->''What if my bones were in a museum,\
2Where aliens paid good money to see em?\
3And suppose that they'd put me together all wrong,\
4Sticking bones on to bones where they didn't belong!\
5Imagine phalanges, pelvis, and spine\
6Welded to mandibles that once had been mine!\
7With each misassembled, the error compounded,\
8The aliens would draw back in terror astounded!\
9Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration,\
10The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!\
11The museum would commission a model in plaster\
12Of ME, to be called, "Evolution's Disaster"!\
13And paleontologists there would debate\
14Dozens of theories to help postulate.\
15How man survived for those thousands of years\
16With teeth covered arms growing out of his ears!\
17Oh, I hope that I'm never in such manner displayed,\
18No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.''
