Carl Linnaeus in his bower
categorizing species
never thought about the scientist
who would order feces

Did Carl Linnaeus, classicist,
dreaming of Kingdom, Phylum, Class,
consider the work to document
The Hierarchies of The Ass?

Could it be mud, or perhaps cement?
Dinosaur crap is fossilized
Jellyfish poop lights up the sea
Ant shit is likely colonized

So if I seem preoccupied
Welcome to the new taxonomy.

They said to write what you know.
So I wrote a bunch of shit.
But if you were to write who you blow-
There’d be no end to it.

This is no lack of wit,
And it’s not an untrained ear.
You’re a sanctimonious tit;
So shove it up your rear.
