[ti:Lecithin's Tale Of A DNA Experiment That Went Horribly Awry]
[00:01.46] Here I sit planted in the mud
[00:06.19] A mushroom of melted molecules
[00:10.63]
[00:11.85] Where language has been reduced
[00:14.68] We can only use abbreviations
[00:18.37] Skjlb hjkgdfn uji ahfgsd uwiaan
[00:21.06] Here comes the pony that one the tony
[00:25.89]
[00:27.21] There were flaws in the experiment
[00:32.74] I'll tell you about it
[00:33.94] If you're interested to know
[00:37.30]
[00:39.20] It was creepy the way they hovered above
[00:43.33] End swooped down on the children
[00:45.96]
[00:47.25] Their mouths agape exposing fangs of fire
[00:51.61]
[00:52.57] Run children run
[00:54.89]
[01:01.31] The three legged hyena cicadas migrated
[01:03.05] To the small northern sea port village
[01:05.04] Called durschfuch
[01:05.82]
[01:06.76] The horrible insects congregated
[01:08.23] Above the durschfuch elementary school
[01:10.19] And would spend an indecent amount of time
[01:12.04] Circling the playground
[01:12.83]
[01:13.98] The citizens of the village
[01:15.23] Were very alarmed by these new visitors
[01:16.88] But since they were a god fearing community
[01:18.43] And were not allowed to bring any harm
[01:20.01] To any of god's creations
[01:21.12]
[01:21.72] They had to pretend to ignore
[01:22.98] The large grotesque arthropods
[01:24.69] And continue on with their lives
[01:26.16] As if there weren't any menacing predators
[01:27.89] Swooping over their offspring
[01:28.88]
[01:30.21] In time the hyena cicadas became hungry
[01:32.26] And this in when the real terror ensued
[01:34.05]
[01:40.11] As I stated earlier the adults of the village
[01:42.21] Thought the best course of action
[01:43.42] Was to pretend the insects didn't exist
[01:44.88]
[01:45.51] And continued to send the children out
[01:46.98] To the playground for recess
[01:48.09]
[01:48.87] Every day the same thing occurred
[01:50.11]
[01:50.89] The children would stand apprehensively
[01:52.47] At the threshold of the front gate
[01:54.01] Until the teachers ordered them outside to play
[01:55.61]
[01:56.70] Then the children would run terrified
[01:58.13] Towards the shelter of the banyan trees
[02:00.16] That formed an oval around the perimeter
[02:01.75] Of the school yard
[02:02.47]
[02:03.36] There they would spend the duration of recess
[02:05.11] Huddling together under the trees
[02:07.00] Shaking with fear for the first few weeks
[02:13.28] The children managed each day to narrowly
[02:15.05] Cheat death by hiding below the trees
[02:16.64]
[02:17.42] Eventually the hyena cicadas
[02:18.79] Became mad with hunger
[02:19.73]
[02:20.27] And resolved to become more aggressive
[02:21.67] In their attempt to eat the children
[02:23.03]
[02:23.97] One of the more intelligent cicadas
[02:25.16]
[02:25.74] Who happened to be the most famished of all of them
[02:27.43]
[02:27.94] Had the idea that some of the flock
[02:29.44] Should hide among the foliage of the banyan trees
[02:31.09]
[02:31.59] While the others swooped over the children as usual
[02:33.83] Then when all of the children
[02:35.50] Were in their normal positions under the trees
[02:37.30] The hyena cicadas hiding in the branches
[02:39.16] Would descend upon them and kill them
[02:40.69]
[02:41.41] After that all of the flock
[02:42.84] Could gather under the trees for a delicious feast
[02:45.02] His plan worked perfectly
[02:45.94]
[02:46.45] And the adults of the village watched helplessly
[02:48.19] As the hyena cicadas ravenously devoured
[02:50.38] Their beloved young ones
[02:53.20]
