The Sir David Attenborough quote in Swift reminded me of one of my favorite Monty Python songs, "All Things Dull and Ugly". I'll just copy the last verse:
All things scabbed and ulcerous
All pox both great and small
Putrid, foul and gangrenous
The Lord God made them all.
All things scabbed and ulcerous
All pox both great and small
Putrid, foul and gangrenous
The Lord God made them all.
