Tardigrade

Oh, little tardigrade, swimming in the blue

Enjoying the wonders of life, through a microscopic view

Such a cute small face, and a noble tiny mind

A more interesting animal, I dare you to find

These miniscule manatees cruse throughout the creek

Cryptobiosis in a pinch, for when they feel weak

High resistance to most anything, so you see

Tardigrades surely transcend all known humanity

Able to survive in the vacuum of space

The imperialistic Tardigrade won't ever be erased

From being boiled, to braving absolute zero

These tough microorganisms are truly my heroes

Radiation, please. These souls can take

amounts that would cause most others to bake

At the top of the Himalayas, Inside the Mariana Trench

My interest for these creatures can't ever be quenched

Oh, how I'd love to be a vibrant Waterbear

 

Floating around all day, invincible, without a single care

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I can't believe I actually wrote this...much less decided to post it. But this took about 10 minutes, and I'm not spending that much time on something just to never do anything with it!

Sorry for the geekiness.
