I really fail to understand
Why I evolved to live on land
Evolution’s cruel intentions
Restrict me to just two dimensions
How on reflection I do wish
I had evolved to be a fish
For I could move both up and down
And never fear to sink and drown
What’s more it surely is a gift
To have the freedom to exist
In seventy percent versus
Thirty of Earth’s land surface
So too I would never ever
Dread the ever-changing weather
What matter if it’s wind or rain
For my domain remains the same
Oh how happy I would be
To leave the land and join the sea
These are my passionate pretensions
To move around in three dimensions
