Mother Nature's Chief Actuary
Keeps account of each critter's lifespan.
Ne'er too cautious of grief nor too wary,
Lest they wind up in fire or fry-pan.
The snail endures your jibes and sneers;
His cursed life can last ten years.
Whereas bees live but just one summer.
If you're a drone, that's a real bummer.
