Eohippus
Craving sweet
Went foraging
For treats to eat
Stumbling on
A doughnut filled
With jelly
E. was quickly killed
In the early
Eocene
The pastry bled
That wasn’t mean
And jelly doughnuts
Famously
Invented field
Artillery
In self-defense
Fierce breakfast courses
Shelled and felled
Those tiny horses
Mother Nature
Barely blinked
When Eohippus
Went extinct
But doughnuts mourned
What went away
And that’s why most
Have holes today
