He lived in a cave by the seas	A
He lived upon oysters and foes	B
But his list of forbidden degrees	A
An extensive morality shows	B
Geological evidence goes	B
To prove he had never a pan	C
But he shaved with a shell when he chose	B
'Twas the manner of Primitive Man	C
	-
He worshipp'd the rain and the breeze	A
He worshipp'd the river that flows	B
And the Dawn and the Moon and the trees	A
And bogies and serpents and crows	B
He buried his dead with their toes	B
Tucked up an original plan	C
Till their knees came right under their nose	B
'Twas the manner of Primitive Man	C
	-
His communal wives at his ease	A
He would curb with occasional blows	B
Or his State had a queen like the bees	A
As another philosopher trows	A
When he spoke it was never in prose	A
But he sang in a strain that would scan	C
For to doubt it perchance were morose	A
'Twas the manner of Primitive Man	C
	-
On the coasts that incessantly freeze	A
With his stones and his bones and his bows	A
On luxuriant tropical leas	A
Where the summer eternally glows	A
He is found and his habits disclose	A
Let theology say what she can	C
That he lived in the long long agos	A
'Twas the manner of Primitive Man	C
	-
From a status like that of the Crees	A
Our society's fabric arose	A
Develop'd evolved if you please	A
But deluded chronologists chose	A
In a fancied accordance with Mos	A
es B C for the span	C
When he rushed on the world and its woes	A
'Twas the manner of Primitive Man	C
	-
But the mild anthropologist HE'S	A
Not RECENT inclined to suppose	A
Flints Palaeolithic like these	A
Quaternary bones such as those	A
In Rhinoceros Mammoth and Co 's	A
First epoch the Human began	C
Theologians all to expose	A
'Tis the MISSION of Primitive Man	C
	-
ENVOY	D
	-
MAX proudly your Aryans pose	A
But their rigs they undoubtedly ran	C
For as every Darwinian knows	A
'Twas the manner of Primitive Man	C
