How Doth Professor Superstar
How doth Professor Superstar
Pursue his shining quest.
His glory awes us from afar.
He dwells atop the crest.
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly wields his clout,
To welcome all his cronies in
And keep outsiders out.

Anti-Biology Theology
We mustn’t improve our biology
Despite all its limits and pains.
If God had approved of technology,
He would have endowed us with brains.
“Anti-Biology Theology” first appeared in The New York Daily News.
