#98: July 30, 2006

Once, long ago, before the mighty shift
That split the continents and disarrayed
The seas, on two sides of a growing rift
Two furry creatures, Okk and Enok, played.

Okk was the smartest of the furry clan
And spent his days devising crude machines;
Enok was dumb as rocks (or dumber than)
And carried all the stupid, violent genes.

Poor Enok neared starvation, till the day
The earth opened and swallowed brainy Okk.
And so the dumber ape across the way
Multiplied, once he got over the shock.

Oh, Chuck--the fittest don't always survive,
Leaving the dumb but fortunate to thrive.
