Cordyceps limerick

[larodem]

There once a cordyceps bloomed

Whose precense all ants entombed

They screamed in a quire

As the death toll rose higher

"My god, we are all SHROOOOMED!"

[BeondaPale]

It causes many ants to be dead

But don't let yourself be misled

If it evolved for humans, we'd soon be in tombs and...

Well then nothing more could be said

[PeeteyP]

Do many Cordyceps fungi have the mind control ability? What about varieties of Cordyceps that prey on other insects? Do they control their host as well? If u smoke'em, will u get high? Where can I buy a deck of those "Magic Cordyceps Game Cards (TM)" that are so popular with kids these days?

[Tutorial59]

I would be WTF-ed

[raykiller98]

I would fight off fungus by using emo plp as a sword!

[PeeteyP]

@raykiller98 I would then produce a puppet show documentary about your struggle, staring Asian battle rapper Jin as the emo ppl, Lady Gaga as the fungus, and a cartoon version of Nikolai Tesla as you.

[Criutre]

LOL

WHAT THE

THIS IS FCKEN HILARIOUS

[zarbar2]

Awesome!

[seekroftheflame]

LAME

[WouterLockefeer]

Just... not very good. No.

[Chibling]

God is such an awesome designer. He also did a good job on the AIDs virus and polio - plus intestinal parasites are PERFECTLY designed.

[SuperOm1234]

@Chibling *sigh*

[asemoknyo]

@Chibling Oh dear. A simple question: why would a loving, compassionate God create organisms like Cordyceps? I feel sorry for Adam, after God created all living things he would have had every single species of human parasite making his life a misery.

[flygon666]

@asemoknyo I imagine he made them (on the presumption of creationalism being correct) for the same reason he made carnivores, so that no one species of animal would become too populous and outcompete other animals and would eventually dominate the planet.

[asemoknyo]

@flygon666 Well He sure fucked up with humans then!

[6684lillian]

Limericks are supposed to be humorous... XD

[bongsmoker93]

at 0:10 i thought is was even dogshit

[madmuffinz]

...the disease.

[Kastralis]

The last word is means to rhyme with 'leaves'

[memutic]

@Kastralis - 'spread' doesn't rhyme with 'leaves' in English. Limerick rhyme scheme is AABBA, not AABBB.

[Kawakka]

that is witty but annoying

[randomstuff314]

[slctdmbntwrx]

[fishmayte]

mate you're no david attenborough

[tw1stedgrudge]

If **I** were attacked by Cordyceps, I dont think I'd care.

I wouldnt have much of a head left... to be fair~! : D

[ObeyBunny]

Mind altering mushrooms for taking ant lives.

High altitude ant tombs, infected ants strive.

They clime to high grasses, high sticks, and high leaves.

Kiss bye to their asses, the dying ant greaves.

Body dead. Spores relieced.

And that said, a fungus feast

It is funny to think that this poor ant died

And Youtube rated it a four out of five.

[lionmane3131]

@ObeyBunny argh the thumbs up reply WONT GO ANY HIGHER

[ObeyBunny]

@lionmane3131

Aww~~ Thank you. That's sweet of you to say.

[thewellgoodshow]

This guy sounds like the guy from "Show me your Genitals" lol.

Thats a really nice poem.

[R4shM4n]

holy crap, but i dont think he would write a song about turning into a giant mushroom 0.o

[illuminastymusic]

I love these parasitic fungas'

Clever poem too =D

[Fifenerf27]
