Yevgenya Zoologia

Yevgenya Zoologia,
had a minor phobia
for all things that crawled.
Even a neonate quite bald,
could give her the jitters.
That's why the critters
she preferred were climbers,
or the type that lumbers.
When she worked in a zoo,
so that people don't boo,
she chose to work on chimps.
And although the abject imps
scratched, fought and pestered,
she was merry and unfestered.
For days she took a good look
and then started writing a book
about primate behavior!
but before long, her ardor,
was cooled by a thought,
(a profound insight she got)
that studying apes in a cage,
be they of various sizes and age,
was like trying to learn all
about men, from a brawl,
indulged in by inmates of a jail.
Being thus doomed to fail,
Yevgenya resorted to prostitution;
which she found an honest institution,
for a while. Before she got bored,
of having herself whored,
and turned to religion instead :
to try and grapple with her dread
of all things that crawled;
including bald babies that bawled.
This deep existential problem,
no matter how lame,
still troubles her to date.
She is led to question her fate.
Yevgenya has decided to slit
her veins in this fit
of mad rage, but the thought
of oozing blood, red and hot,
chills her to the bone as well.
So you see she's alive and well.
