If Ida Known She Was Harmless, Ida Fossilized Her Myself!

Of Darwin's posse, I count myself one.

So I am pleased that our new missing link

A fossil we call Ida, just for fun,

Might bear his name if we all stay in sync.

Darwinius cries out sometime to be

A genus. Per Carl Zimmer, there's debate

Among taxonomists if something we

Have only named online can really rate

As nomenclature in the lit'rature.

I'm also much amused that certain folk

Are up in arms and newly insecure;

That this dead primate-lemur can provoke

A new round of bad monkey's uncle japes.

We're made out of spare ribs, not out of apes!
