about

This was going to be about killer (digger) wasps, but that's a gross-out even for children.

And for those who amusingly wonder whether Noah took nematodes aboard the ark, 2 x 2, he didn't need to, they were already aboard.

lyrics

Parasites are every body's friend!
They help unhealthy lives to their end!
The fitter, they survive, and pay the parasites their tithe.
Yes, parasites are every body's friend!

Think about a mistletoe seed...
It gives a special bird its feed.
And in return the bird will sow it in a turd,
To slowly grow and eat a tree.

And nematodes--they're thinner than a thread--
The poor worms even lack a head!
But still they've compensated, they've thoroughly infiltrated,
There's solid worms in anything, live or dead.

Yes, parasites are marvellous things,
And living with them, endless pleasure brings.
They're with you all the time, _you're_ part of Nature's Grand Design,
Yes, parasites are marvellous things!

And parasites are people too!
They're part of me, and certainly part of you!
So remember as you pass your tapeworm in the bath
Parasites are people too!

Where is Wallaroo? Nothing to see here, move along... ... more
