Curse of the Cyberneticians

Curse of the Cyberneticians
The chipmunk’s brain is full of information
The blacksnake’s belly can’t appreciate
As it digests the neurons. Ah, creation!
The chipmunk’s brain is full of information—
Forever lost to serpentine predation.
Cyberneticians curse – but such is fate:
The chipmunk’s brain is full of information
The blacksnake’s belly can’t appreciate.
