Survival

Once upon a time there was life on planet Earth

Its resources were all plundered with mirth

It many spaceships they left that planet

Mostly made from the igneous rock granite

Breeding species of remaining plants

Animals and insects including ants

Gathered up and put on board

It was humankind who loaded that horde

The flotilla of ships took many years

Arriving and unloading despite the fears

Only one surviving species was omitted

Humans for the carnage committed

Their leaders knew they would repeat

Given a perfect new sheet

The new planet did fill with laughter

They all lived happily ever after
