My mom and dad did not know
that I was a genius. It didn't show.
I was nothing like the other boys
when I grabbed a box of tinker toys
and paired it with adenine and thymine,
planning something you've never seen.
With cytosine and guanine in the mix,
I added DNA to my bag of tricks,
along with fish dad pulled from the lake
and some raw meat mom was fixing to bake.
I put it together, one after another.
Soon, I'd constructed a new little brother.
