A Packet of Seeds

A packet of seeds I got in the mail from China it said. Well, isn’t that swell? Having nothing to do – thought I’d plant them for fun, so I watered them daily beneath summer’s sun. Next thing I knew, there were tiny tails showing! Attached to those tails, hamster babies were growing! I then took the packet the seeds had come in and had its words translated by Doctor Chin. He told me the females of hamsters Chinese had incredible medical properties! “Their ovaries,” he confided in me, “are used to make Prolia. Rich you may be!” Gobsmacked was I. I could sell to Big Pharma. From stuff out of China there sure comes strange Karma!

Freaking hamsters! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_hamster_ovary_cell
