Fifth Philospher's Song

A MILLION million spermatozoa,
  All of them alive:
Out of their cataclysm but one poor Noah
  Dare hope to survive.

And among that billion minus one
  Might have chanced to be
Shakespeare, another Newton, a new Donne�
  But the One was Me.

Shame to have ousted your betters thus,
  Taking ark while the others remained outside!
Better for all of us, froward Homunculus,
  If you'd quietly died!
