Wearing Designer Genes

Genesis means the beginning Root word gene, the blueprint of life So...In the beginning, of the seventies There were jeans. Now try to follow this Jeans cover our bodies, but, Our bodies are made of genes Skin covers our bodies like jeans do But, skin is made of genes too We all have life, so the blueprints inside of us So...genes have the blueprint inside Jeans are printed blue outside From genes come the word generation Every generation loves jeans Unless they are blue genes That's when they're sad Humans we are all living breathing genes We were made by a Creator, a Designer So in a way we are all wearing designer genes And sometimes we also wear designer blue genes That's when we're sad Babies when they are born what are they? Brand new designer genes A teenager what is he? Lightly used designer genes A tired old man what is he? Worn out and wrinkled designer genes I feel sorry for the stone washed, Acid washed, hard pressed Steam ironed, left in the freezer, blue genes Because not only has he had a hard life He's also kind of sad.

YOU are a mad man! That would make me insane because I understood every genetic word. Funny one, John.

Thanks Lin it took a while I had 3 pages of ideas swirling around but I finally took control and cut and paste and voila, the cerebral haze turned into a maze, of thought. Not amazing tho haha. JDH
