OFF: DNA Cowboys (2nd draft)

[M Holmes]

Hmmm, it's easy to obsess once you start at this lark.



The DNA Cowboys
---------------

Violets are red, Roses are blue
It's amazing what genetic engineering can do
Enhancing intelligence and editing the mind
We'll release the beta version of the new humankind

I'm a DNA cowboy
I'm a clone engineer
Just pop your foetus in the tank
There's nothing to fear
Pick the colour of his eyes
>From the chart on the wall
Choose from blonde, brunette or redhead
And exactly how tall

Just call me Clone Arranger
I'm at your service Ma'am
Just a little dash of thymine
Will put a tiger in your pram
Or if you'd prefer a poet
Here's a word in his ear
I make Pick'n'Mix people
I'm a clone engineer

Violets are red, Roses are blue
It's amazing what genetic engineering can do
Replacing evolution, which was operating blind
We'll release the beta version of the new humankind

I'm a midwife of modernity
I'm the gene pool guard
Writing whole generations
I'm a four-letter bard
So when you do your shopping
For the latest kid in town
Come visit the Clone 'Ranger
Cos I'll never let you down

Violets are red, Roses are blue
It's amazing what genetic engineering can do
So don't leave it to nature, get your baby designed
And we'll release the beta version of the new humankind
