Rob Sula wrote this poem back in 2002. Rob as 1st Vice-President from 2008-2014. The poem is about Essexella asherae, the iconic Mazon Creek cnidarian. While there was a recent paper about whether it is a jellyfish or a sea anemone, the consensus opinion is that it is a jellyfish.
ODE TO A BLOB
Oh, lowly blob,
Whose grave I did not rob.
On the ground you sit
So round and nicely split.
Were you but a few.
I'd bend to pick up you.
But alas, you're not so rare.
And although I wish I'd care,
I left you lying there.
Rob Sula (2002)
