Cold War veteran of the age,
John Paul turned a somber page. “Evolution is no theory”--
evidence he has grown weary.
Primate with a miter cap
proves there is no actual gap.
We need not search, it’s in our home,
that Missing Link, just like in Rome.
What is that? I see a tail
curling round St. Peter’s rail.
“Virgin Mary”--she’s next to go,
with “Resurrected Christ” in tow.
They concede we're random bits
thrown together by chance hits.
Starting from the “simple cell”
(the usual nonsense that they tell)
all life grew to what we see,
pond scum on to rocketry.
Yet the Word of God is plain,
this view of thing is quite insane.
God created heaven, earth,
by His Word, He gave them birth.
The A.C.L.U. abhors this view,
sitting smug in John Paul’s pew
applauding, cheering the latest bull
by which the Bible’s rendered null.
Deny God and what He did,
you open up Pandora’s lid.
If no Creator, there’s no law
to save us from the lion’s jaw.
If O.J. Simpson leaps on you,
don’t you claim your right to sue!
Whatever some thug likes to do
should be just okay with you.
After all, without God’s laws,
you’ve opted for Great White shark jaws.
(Refrain)
Oh, gimme a little tail, will ya, huh?
Curl it round the rail, will ya, huh?
Gosh, oh gee, lookee, lookee me,
I’ve grown into old Darwin’s monkey.
Oh, gimme a little tail...
(Repeat, and FADE)

Evolution is crowned Pope,
a new religion without hope.
It lacks a single Missing Link,
just believe it, and don’t think!
God formed man after His image--
no monkey in a wire cage.
He spoke to man, not animals,
we’re not the same as cock and bulls.
Kill a man, you break God’s law.
Pluck a carrot, eat it raw
and the carrot blesses you,
no blame at all can thus ensue.
And that bear? It’s your decision.
Eating meat is God’s provision.
Foolish people ignore God’s Word
when they pass a law absurd,
turning Pontiff fallible,
pontificating against the Bible.
Behind their tears for baited bear
is rebellion that will tear
all human value into shreds
and hang on belts nice shrunken heads.
What God has said is for our good,
obey Him as His creature should.
God’s laws are best, since they will
bless us with unfailing happiness.
Spencer, Darwin, and Huxley
hatched a vain philosophy:
“Man is purposeless, no aim,
random dust from whence he came.
Species too, the best win out,
Selection rules the roost--no doubt.”
Where is God in this dark game?
Fools cancel out His Name.
Appointed chief, no animal,
Adam ruled in his role.
One job was to name each kind,
and Adam did so (what a mind!).
To keep the Garden up to snuff,
Adam trimmed the trees enough.
The best part was his special talk
as God and he took a long walk.
No tiger, insect, or giraffe
could walk with God and fellowship.
God and man went hand in hand--
Creator and His perfect man.
Signet of God’s creation,
man was a rare, fine-cut diamond.
Why not praise Him, face to face?
God made THE HUMAN RACE! (5)
Lord of Heaven and of Earth,
I thank You, for You gave me birth..
For Your Gift of Life I treasure
accept my gratitude full-measure.
As You said in Your own Word,
a contrite spirit’s always heard.
Take me as Your loving child,
keep me always humble, mild.
Your kingdom, Lord, will never cease,
Yeshua, Jesus, Prince of Peace.
Amen
