Darwin Day, You Goddamn Monkeys!

Okay, since today's Darwin's birthday I thought I'd translate this poem into english (with a little help from Carol R.), something I wanted to do for ages. It was written by Wilhelm Busch, the father of violent cartoons and creator of Max & Moritz, to whose demise this very blog owes its name. Busch was a freethinker and wrote in his autobiography that the writings of Darwin, next to the philosophy of Schopenhauer were what influenced his worldview the most.
