That's a horrible poem.

It's a classic song by Tom Lehrer, 60's satirist and composer extraordinaire.

It's a song, m'dear ... no mere poem, that. And Tom Lehrer is the master par excellence of sick (really, really sick) humour. Nothing he wrote should be taken too seriously.

It's a satirical song, lime all of Tom Leherer's stuff was...

There were over a thousand wild ducks that died here in Idaho a couple of weeks ago...they thought it was an epidemic, but the last I heard about it, they were still testing.

Oh, but it's such a wonderful & catchy tune!
As are the rest of his songs, like The Massochism Tango, Pollution, The Old Dope Peddler, ...

(FYI: Tom Lehrer was a math professor at Harvard.)
