In Your Genes

A teenager goes to the dance
All swelled up with hopes of a chance
Makes an advance
Gets in her pants
Looks around for a new romance

I Have Read:- Half Set of Genes

I have read:- Half  set of genes
Kids borrowed from the father side.
Of  sudden news I badly winced.
Just half a wits  passed to my child!

Treat every female with respect
Never let one suffer neglect
Your Family Tree
Makes it plain to see
That each one will somewhere connect!

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.

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.

Premium Member Absolute Minimum

Absolute Minimum

f has an absolute minimum
at x=a if f(a) < f(x)
for all x in the domain of f
the y value f(a) is the
absolute value of f

I have absolutely no clue
what all this means
because math is not in my genes

Premium Member Longevity

Have I been given longevity for a special reason?
Is there something this old man still must do?
 
          Or, am I the product of good ancestry and genes?
          When I discover the answer, I’ll share it with you.

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 English spelling used* 13th November 2014

Human Genes Change In Space

So long periods in space
Change your genes
Does this mean that
You become more alien 
And long years in space journeys
Mean you won’t recognise them
When they return
Perhaps the small grey aliens
Once started out human
And space changed them forever.

Premium Member Nature At Its Darwinian Best

Dare challenge me? 
Then be my guest …

The stags enter into a jousting quest,
No time now for antlers to rest,
The challenger locks his horny crest,
With focused stare and forceful zest,
A testosterone and power fest,
Nature at its Darwinian best.

Into the gene-pool 
He wished to invest,
Can he suceed,
Survive this test?

Tight Genes

Long have I thought
"Where am I really from?"
And long was I taught
That I was just one of some
My genes make me a mutt
but my source gives me pedigree
The cloth from which I'm cut
Was sewn amidst the heavenly
Irish, Spanish, and Welsh
Are just descriptions
Of this rented thing I call my "self"
At times, they're even encryptions

For a slice of cake

Wicked chocolate slab
Marking a milestone
A table for two indoors
Missing the threesome

Not there, three decades
To jubilate from afar
Toasting another year 
Wishing her more power

Torn apart so long
Strangers in the dark
Genes beat reality
Ties that knit tightly

The golden child
Mirroring the original
On top of the world
For a slice of cake

Premium Member Jaywalking Is In His Genes

Sure I jaywalk he said. It’s in my genes.
I inherited this trait from my father.
I cannot help it.
He always jaywalked too.
I was astounded.
We had known each other for ten years.
I had never heard him talk about a father.
Where does your father live? I asked.
In heaven.
Oh, I’m sorry. What happened?
We are not sure.
All we know is he got hit by a car.

As you kick to the end

Senescence ongoing
Biological to the core
Cellular and systemic
Even genes mutate

Creeps in on you
Like a thief at night
Movement deliberate
Your thoughts too

The new kids run
Outpacing you
The final stretch
Never ending

Energy flagging
Redeemed by love
Unconditional and true
As you kick to the end

Shallow End Of The Pool

When handed a stuffed pullet looks like a stunned mullet should I turn surly in high dudgeon please don't bludgeon this old curmudgeon and not to be outdone altho' I am an only son blame my parents by all means as I'm the result of their poor genes which run the gamut of the spectrum but I don't care one bit not a jot nor give a sh*t more politely put I really couldn't render a rodent's rectum

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


Jeans for the Genes day
Brings thrill to children who are
Heritably ill
