Cycles within cycles, gears within gears,
water, carbon and the circle of life,
in seconds, minutes, and hundreds of years,
swans, and oft people, take a lifelong wife.
What makes it happen, and how does it work?
What turns a grub into a butterfly?
Run by King Gene, DNA doesn't shirk -
when the season is right, one flutters by.
Soon, we feel it is time to reproduce,
and, with the lovely lady we have found,
we look forward to reading Mother Goose,
and, so Gene lives on, going round and round.
We're filled with joy to hear a new babe cry,
but who will weep when it's our time to die?
