Could this be perfect symmetry A mirror or an image trap Research rat I'll accept not so By body kleptomaniac One should be bred true and clean Not by what scientists can do Cease playing God, its not your job Our future begs something purer Proper pa and nurturing ma Young fresh stock not by dish and doc |

This made me think of an article I read in the paper about a man who had one pretty child out of three. Well, I won't go into it, but there is something to be said for the oldfashioned way of doing things and It's alot more fun! |

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your marks... I realize this doesn't quite rhyme in some cases... but did anyone catch the acrostic? There are "two" to be found... sort of keeping with the clone theme. |

Good question~~ Could a research by one not cease our proper young? I believe cloning could be a dangerous game to play. Well done Andrew! ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

Excellent, Andrew, and yes I caught the acrostic, but only the first one, found the other only after your mention of it. Clever you are! To me, one acrostic in a piece is hard work. How do you guys do this? Are you all like geniuses or something? ------------------ Denise |

Lady Hoot: I bow to you in thanks. Watcher: Thanks for looking in Caroline: Although I believe great benefits will come of this tech... I also believe it will lead to our next great plague Lady D: Last I checked my IQ was still hangin' in the averages... I'll admit, it was alot of work Munda: My thanks to you as well. Glad to have shared |

Excellent! Whichever way you look at it! ------------------ Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

I saw the first acrostic. It blew my mind when the other was pointed out to me. One Grandson was a miracle baby. But the type blessed by God. And we count him as one of our greatest blessings. Must agree with your point of view here. |

Dr. Moose: I don't think I'd want to do that... God knows what kind of medicine I'd be prescribed if I were to hit you with a stick. Ohme: Glad I could give you a surprise. My view on things... if you're ment to have kids , you'll have kids... if not... its evelution in progress. Nobody said life was fair, though I wish it were.

Andrew, great work here....the form was quite clever. The poem's content itself hits a sore spot with me. Humans have no right to play God....but we do it anyway. You have got a song in my head describing this human flaw now....thanks, I'll be insane within the hour. ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |

Good poem Andrew, or Andrew's clone, whoever posted this. Indeed, someone out there's breeding contempt. ------------------ Michael Anderson Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? |

Ah excuss me! I didn't write this... so who ever is using my name... thanks, but stop it. It's my name and you can't have it. (Damn that evil twin!) SD: Glad to see your mark and you're welcome for the song. Michael: Thanks for coming by... I've much admired your work. Lady Suthern: Thank you as well... and thanks for not holding a gruge on that shooting incident. |
