[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

[00:21.06]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]
