Survival of the Fittest.In northern climes, the polar bearProtects himself with fat and hair,Where snow is deep and ice is stark,And half the year is cold and dark,He still survives a clime like thatBy growing fur, by growing fat.These traits, O bear, which thou transmittestProve the Survival of the Fittest.To polar regions waste and wan,Comes the encroaching race of man,A puny, feeble, little blubber,He has no fur, he has no blubber.The scornful bear sat down at easeTo see the stranger starve and freeze -But, lo! the stranger slew the bear,And ate his fat and wore his hair;These deeds, O Man, which thou committestProve the Survival of the Fittest.In modern times the MillionaireProtects himself as did the bear:Where Poverty and Hunger areHe counts his bullion by the car:Where thousands perish still he thrives -
