A late night test-writing composition by Dr. Staub

(sing (loudly) to the tune of "on top of old smokey")
(suggestions for improvement and additional verses appreciated)

on top of the compost
there was a slime mold
a haploid cell feeding
all bacteria to behold

when times got tough oh
when times got bad
that cellular slime mold
joined up with a band

they formed a big slug thing
and toured around
and then settled down
on top of a mound

it formed a fruiting body
and then it formed spores
these spores did then scatter
all over the world

from out of the spore there
emerged haploid cell
to feed on bacteria
all over again.

Dr. Staub,
That was definitely a poetic work of art but I recommend you stick to your day job.
