Evolution Blues

She was one good looking chick Straight out of Vogue, or a Spiderman flick Her back was straight, she had that glow Blonde hair, green eyes, healthy head to toe And she had a fixation, that fixation was me My heart jumped, I wanted to agree But then I realized the attraction was an illusion An evolution induced mental confusion To exist our genes need reproduction So they evolved romance, not to mention seduction. I looked at her and thought "she may look great. but she's descended from a monkey, a large-brained primate And though what I feel may be infatuation Internally, it's just a mental computation. "Take away the hair, color the eyes brown Remove your species privilege, you'll feel like a clown Internal opiates, and a hormonal stew, Without internal messengers, what is she to you? So said to her "Babe, go back to your former beau" Wasn't he Jimmy the knife, and wasn't his life low? I just can't date you, after thinking out loud I've lost the mystery, it's all a pall and a shroud No romantic haze, no mystical link The magic left your gaze, I'm just left to overthink. She replied, "My Dad's is Vinny "the vacuum" Vortellini: You say no to me, he'll make you into Linguini You're my choice, and you must understand Your opinion doesn't matter, you're mired in quicksand. I looked at her again, I saw the psychopath beneath But oh, that blonde hair, those eyes, and those perfect teeth! I'm just a primate too, I realized inside. So I jumped out the window and committed suicide. So all you men, you need to comprehend A lovely woman can bring an untimely end It's all a trick perpetuated by DNA You must transcend nature's imperative and disobey! We are a tragic species caught between biology and mind Don't let nature interfere, don't let instincts bind.

Since in verse 7 he jumps out the window, I guess it would be in the next world. I wasn't sure on this poem, so I'm glad you approve.
