Poems and Ribosomes

Poems and Ribosomes

Poems and ribosomes

are both friends of mine.

My poems keep me happy,

ribosomes keep my DNA in line.

Poems don't need to flow

smooth like a snake,

but DNA needs to line up,

or you'll have a big mistake.

Poems can be simple,

or they can be complex.

DNA needs to be exact,

and with that, there's no flex.

Words in a poem,

in order should go.

Same with DNA,

or you'll end up in a freak show.

You could very well wake up,

with a huge nose on your forehead,

two right hands, forty one toes,

and eyes that are fiery red.

You might be eighteen feet tall,

and have a goose neck.

People would all stare and say,

"What the heck?"

So let your poems wander,

or do whatever they please,

but keep your ribosomes straight,

or out of your ear- you just might sneeze!
