Best Genes Poems


Premium Member Diahrrhoea Runs In My Genes
Why is diahrrhoea known as ‘the runs’
When it makes you sit on the loo all day

Oh hang on a minute, I’ve got to go …oh heck I must rush
The contents of my stomach need to pour out of my tush

Kimberly who lives in the Philippines
Fell in love with a handsome marine
Got married had a kid
Resembled a squid
Think sea water was to blame not her genes

(All in fun sweet lady)

The Monk and His Genes
The Monk and His Genes

George Gregor Mendel.
Socialized with beans and tendrils.
He never planned to marry
After he and genes did tarry.

My Roots, My Genes, My Life
Nothing in me is Her
Yet everything in me is Of Her
Nothing in me is Him
Yet everything in me is Of Him
Nothing in me is Them
Yet everything in me is Of Them
They are all gone now
And
I miss them....

Jeans and Genes
This is what I mean
From his father he has had
Juicy humour genes

Jeans look so genial
Specially the Jeans turtle
At the Jeanie mart
 
Are you feeling low 
May try Gene Krupa solo
And feel how leaves grow

Also may see him
I mean General Gene, for
Boost in dopamine

Her Genes
I wish I had her genes...
She is so much prettier than I.
She has long, soft blonde hair,
and sparkling blue eyes.
But if I looked like her,
would I be me?
Would I have the same thoughts?
The same dreams?
Or would I just be her,
and not realize who I used...

Premium Member In the Genes
Poe, Coleridge and Blake she read to me
A child of five sitting on her big sister’s knee

Lights out at night, but Shakespeare’s stories she told
Listening intently, I heard Moby Dick’s tale unfold

But Dad’s storytelling skills were very strong
He made them up as he went along

I...

Genes

GENES.

Galloping in body
Gain characteristics
Gear up heredity
Govern peculiar traits
Ground parental glimpses
Gaily offspring reflect
Gadget for legacies.

Sue bought 'skinny' jeans
In a plus size twenty six
It's quite ironic!

Premium Member In the Genes
Earlier in the day, dipped
into a little Thucydides,
and revived my memories of
Corinth and Corcyra.

Alliances and duplicity,
trophies taken and lost,
innocents slaughtered handily,
for revenge,
and thoughts of Syria
and Fallujah came to mind.
Things in THAT part of the world
don't seem to ever change.

Watched a piece on road rage,
recently,
about tailgating...

Premium Member Sensitivity, It's In the Genes
More lamenting from that "Mediclueless" hypochondriac...

Sensitivity, sensitivity,
I've got it in spades, head to toe.
I'm sure my sensitivity's passed down genetically
From ancestors long, long ago.

It's the epitome of exquisite agony,
And I suffer it more than my due.
Or could be I'm the progeny of poetic pedigree,
Which might...

Treat every female with respect
Never let one suffer neglect

Makes it plain to see
That each one will somewhere connect!...

'Like the silence that screams, cursing solitude...
whispers of faith sing patiently with prayers.'

Leader Lady Ruler Bee gorges imprudent
Heavy duty seeps striped desirous abdominal

Workers hover, rush...
