  1. There was once a little animal,
  2. No bigger than a fox,
  3. And on five toes he scampered
  4. Over Tertiary rocks.
  5. They called him Eohippus,
  6. And they called him very small,
  7. And they thought him of no value --
  8. When they thought of him at all;
  9. For the lumpish old Dinoceras
  10. And Coryphodon so slow
  11. Were the heavy aristocracy
  12. In days of long ago.
  13.  
  14. Said the little Eohippus,
  15. “I am going to be a horse!
  16. And on my middle finger-nails
  17. To run my earthly course!
  18. I’m going to have a flowing tail!
  19. I’m going to have a mane!
  20. I’m going to stand fourteen hands high
  21. On the psychozoic plain!”
  22.  
  23. The Coryphodon was horrified,
  24. The Dinoceras was shocked;
  25. And they chased young Eohippus,
  26. But he skipped away and mocked.
  27. Then they laughed enormous laughter,
  28. And they groaned enormous groans.
  29. And they bade young Eohippus
  30. Go view his father’s bones.
  31. Said they, “You always were as small
  32. And mean as now we see,
  33. And that’s conclusive evidence
  34. That you’re always going to be.
  35. What! Be a great, tall, handsome beast,
  36. With hoofs to gallop on?
  37. Why! You’d have to change your nature!
  38. Said the Loxolophodon.
  39. They considered him disposed of,
  40. And retired with gait serene;
  41. That was the way they argued
  42. In the early Eocene.
