A little girl with a book on the playground

Not the easiest kid to be around

But now things have changed and rearranged

Just kidding, I’m involved in the knowledge exchange

Acquired years before, genetics is my game

In fact, once I met a chromosome I was never the same

Because genes change who we are and wish to be

Capabilities predetermined from birth you see

As I sit in class and listen to Literature chatter

I’m dreaming of electrophoresing some matter

Of experiments with beans sprouts and hybridization

Of replication, p53 and recombination

When I look around me all I see are alleles

His family predisposed to medical ordeals

She full of potential from the moment of birth

Dendrites, axons, myelin full of worth

I dream of experimenting and curing cancer

So many venture, yet none can answer

Cancer, the monster that lurks in our DNA

Deteriorates a person into cellular decay

How can I help, this you might ask?

A young, educated, exuberant young lass

I believe I have the passion and dedication

But importantly creativity for new creation

Science is rejuvenated by the youthful mind

Fail to construe uniquely then fall behind

That is my plea, very much pure

Genetics, genetics, je t’adore
