In 1873
The German botanist Haeckel
Invented the word ‘Ecology’
A transparent term
To give us a grip
On our rapidly transmutating reality.
Tansley in 1935
Brought it back alive
This tamed beast, nature
In his worded code-form
Ecosystem
These words now form the boundary
To the action which goes on
To preserve the earth from further rape
To keep man the most intelligent ape
Around.

When Cap de la Hague was obscene
