D, N and A

I’d like to track my DNA,

To me, it’d be a hit,

My tiny little sample

Could tell me quite a bit.

 

Like—who am I descended from,

And from whence I came,

 A little ‘bout my ancestors,

And something of my name.

 

I’m not sure how it works, it’s true,

A scientist, I’m not,

But ‘genotyping’ is the path

To tell me what I’ve got.

 

But there’s a little squiggle,

A tiny little hit,

To access all this ‘Science’,

Would cost a little bit.

 

I’ve really not the assets,

To pay that mighty sum,

So I’ve come up with something else

To get the matter done.

 

I tried a little trickery,

(Not as nasty as it sounds)

I said I won the lottery…

Now relatives abound!

P.S. Husby wants to know 

We talkin’ Canada? USA?

Will US folks say DN-huh?

While we say DN-eh?!

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
