At first we huddled together at night
Without claws or teeth to fight
Bereft of muscles and of might
But with a mind exceedingly bright
 
A hand that could fashion what the mind designed
Was to our advantage undenied
And our kith and kin spread far and wide
Swelling our heads with unearned pride
 
At the apex we resided
All other creatures we derided
Because by God we were guided
adapting our environment as we required
