THE COSMIC OWL

You're Never Alone With a Clone

YOU'RE NEVER ALONE WITH A CLONE

 

Are my eyes in desperate trouble

Or am I really seeing double?

That lonely only child I knew,

I could swear I'm seeing two.

 

Genetic cloning is the reason

All the rabbits, birds and bees an'

White rats, mice and men as well

Are out of fashion, sad to tell.

 

A little bit of DNA

Replaced the need for sex today,

And all this monumental folly

Started with a sheep called Dolly.

 

A test tube here, a zygote there,

What once was one is now a pair.

Two Patrick Swayzes may sound great,

But two Madonnas, that I'd hate!

 

A Mum, who really needs two pair

Of hands, would find it handy, where

Her little twins, an active twosome,

Would give her double trouble - gruesome!

 

We'd filter out recessive genes,

But cutting out the bad just means

My cloned self would be just the job,

While here I sit, your average slob!
