Social Darwinism

I once had a friend called Grist
Who was a most fervent Social Darwinist.
Whilst out on the stormy sea
It was either him or me.
Oh, how I miss that Social Darwinist!

Magpie

Someone said
A magpie
Killed a blackbird, stone dead
And that is why
He dislikes the magpie.

We laud it over the magpie for he is our inferior.
And we humans, being superior
Do good to one another
For who will
Kill
His brother?
