			<p>Is it female or male? Does it have any sex?<br />
Does it come with a name, like Jane, Irving, or Rex?<br />
What we need is a super-intelligent definer<br />
To define this uncanny Intelligent Designer!</p>
<p>Has it got any features? Does it have any limbs?<br />
Is it made of dark matter or two-dimensional films?<br />
Among all the world&rsquo;s gods, is it major or minor?<br />
This amorphous, intangible Intelligent Designer!</p>
<p>Does it live on a planet, a star, or a comet?<br />
Inside a black hole or far, far away from it?<br />
Can it ride on a light beam or something diviner?<br />
This incongruous, elusive Intelligent Designer!</p>
<p>Would a galactic ensemble fit most of it in,<br />
Or is it as small as the head of a pin,<br />
Or perhaps in between, like a grand ocean liner?<br />
This mysterious, pretentious Intelligent Designer!</p>
<p>Does it get a big charge out of making malaria,<br />
Cholera, AIDS, or a cook who&rsquo;s a carrier<br />
Of typhoid or worms who love to live in your spine or<br />
Your belly? this heartless Intelligent Designer!</p>
<p>Did the brain carcinoma (what&rsquo;s more unbenigner?)<br />
Come out of the shop of the Intelligent Designer?<br />
Does the tse-tse fly sing a clear thankful hosanna<br />
To the ID every time it makes someone a goner?</p>
<p>Does it have any purpose except to confuse<br />
Bible myths of creation with what scientists use<br />
To learn how designs in nature are made?<br />
This Intelligent Designer &mdash; a pointless charade!</p>
