FACE BOOK OLDIE GOLDIES

Horace Shipp's tribute to the "Living Fossil with Legs", thought extinct until discovered in the 1930s in a South Efrikan fish market.

"There lived a happy Coelacanth
In dim, primordial seas;

He ate and mated, hunted, slept,
Completely at his ease.

Dame Nature urged: 'Evolve!'
He said 'Excuse me, Ma'am.

You get on with making Darwin,
I'm staying as I am."
