Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Tardigrade

Humans call me a tardigrade.
Watch me under a microscope.
Study how hardy I be made.
So do I humor humans? Nope!
I go about my living biz,
Mostly on lichen and on moss.
But any where on Earth - I is.
Even in outer space, I cross.
A bear, a hippo and a pig -
I do resemble, humans say.
Most resilient life - my gig
Is "borrowing" best D.N.A.

Maybe humans will study me,
And learn how better they might be.
