As I recall, the recipe
involved man-sperm
and horse manure
Incubated in a flask
with special oils, herbs
and more - no "eye of newt!"
These alchemists
were no witchcrafty
charlatans, but proto-science
men! I guess
They never quite recovered, then
from that black eye: the whole lead/gold
dichotomy - which, unresolved
and unfulfilled made jokes of them.
And they got old, and so
dissolved
themselves in tasks uncanny
and arcane, and eldritch -
secret stuff! Most bold of which:
Homunculus.
Don't scoff
at this disgusting chap!
A little tiny man, grown-up
from horse crap
and from jerking off
