It's now official: <br />If you're altricial, <br />You tend to stay at home at first. <br />But if precocial, you're quite soon social <br />And into running unrehearsed. <br /> <br />But once you're eyes and ears are opened, <br />Once your tiny legs in motion, <br />Al, you may have started late <br />But in a classic twist of fate <br />Precocial, though in herds may bunch, <br />Are destined to become your lunch.<br /><br />Jim Bergin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/predator-or-prey-2/
