Last week I read Darwin on holiday

While waiting for the others to awake

It was rather dry (the book, not the day)

But it was an effort I had to make

And now Richard Dawkins is trying to break

The hold of religion on school science

Campaigning hard for Darwin’s shocking take

That we are related to worms and hens

Which some schools daren’t stand by, in case offence

Is taken by ostriches, who when they

Hear hard, challenging truth, declare it fake

And say that science isn’t evidence

Dawkins is talkin’ to Canterbury

And Rowan’s goin’ to squirm like a snake

Written a few minutes ago while watching Dawkins on Channel 4.  For the record, I'm agnostic. Surely that will not come as a surprise!
