More W.S.Gilbert. A comment on, if memory serves, the movie “expelled”, or a related issue.
I am the very model of a devious creationist
I’ve made a film that’s best described as stolen-animationist
I know the use of rhetoric when facts are unavailable
To render the impossible into the unassailable
I’m very well acquainted, too, with data manufacturing
I’ll claim I stand on solid granite even as it’s fracturing
I document complexity, like when it’s irreducible…
And think my movie’s in the league of Arthur Miller’s Crucible
And think my movie’s in the league of Arthur Miller’s Crucible
And think my movie’s in the league of Arthur Miller’s Crucible
And think my movie’s in the league of Arthur Miller’s Crucible
I’m very good at lying, both the verbal and statistical—
Like Darwin in his later years, I’m openly theistical
In short, you might describe me as a mental masturbationist
I am the very model of a devious creationist
In short, you might describe him as a mental masturbationist
He is the very model of a devious creationist
My evidence, in volumes that would baffle a librarian
Is not so much orthogonal as utterly contrarian
Presented with a problem like the claw of a Deinonychus
I pause for just a moment, then it’s “Dammit, bring it on!” I cuss
My scientific colleagues have been banned from Universities
Expecting them to publish was just one of their adversities
They’ve parried the attacks of retroviruses endogenous
Maintaining all the while that Darwinians are dodgin’ us
Maintaining all the while that Darwinians are dodgin’ us
Maintaining all the while that Darwinians are dodgin’ us
Maintaining all the while that Darwinians are dodgin’ us
My evidence is solid as a fossil of triceratops
Presented with the humor of a monologue of Carrot Top’s
In short, you might describe me as a mental masturbationist
I am the very model of a devious creationist
In short, you might describe him as a mental masturbationist
He is the very model of a devious creationist
In fact, when I know what is meant by “cinemas” and “enemas”
When I can tell by sight the harmless serpent from the venomous
And claim I found the evidence in chapter one of Genesis
You’ll see, compared to Darwinists, which one of us the menace is
When I have crack’d a book on Evo-Devo or Biology
Enough to understand instead of mutter simply “Golly gee!”
And understand my argument is simply false dichotomy
You’ll say that this creationist does not deserve lobotomy
You’ll say that this creationist does not deserve lobotomy
You’ll say that this creationist does not deserve lobotomy
You’ll say that this creationist does not deserve lobotomy
For the science that I know was not updated for millennia
Not since the latest virgin birth, or genesis parthenia
But still, you might describe me as a mental masturbationist
I am the very model of a devious creationist
But still, you might describe him as a mental masturbationist
He is the very model of a devious creationist

Now you just have to ask Michael Beattie to sing this song
leftygomez says
Wonderful, as always, DC.
binjabreel says
Ah, I’d been singing the one about parasitic wasps for days now.
Thank Bob that I’ve got something new to sing now.
Zambezi says
This is weapons-grade awesome.
loren amacher says
Fantastic! I once sang the ‘major general’ on stage, so I sang it thru and it parsed perfectly!
Bezoar says
Beautiful! Reminds me of this little gem about Dover.
Tim DeLaney says
Every now and then I say to myself “I wish…”
“I could write witty verse as does Cuttlefish”
The points he makes are so intellectual-ish
But my meter and rhyme is all fucked up.

Damn! How does he do that?
