Beaks And Claws | The Philosophy Of Science [1st Edition]
From the finch's beaks
to the dawn of the Greeks
They waited for Wallace
to get their first peek
Being built to feel
they knew not what was real
If it weren't for Darwin
it's with the Devil they'd deal
For blunt tools such as claws
can't decide what is false
In the absence of Newton
could they reckon a world made from laws?
