biological determinism

 

at the deep end of the genetic pool
lie normal distributions of life's best
agents of change this is nature's last jest

we shape the world with mind as working tool
and every day we find we cannot rest
at the deep end of the genetic pool

no one expects that we will leave this school
the whole of life is an unceasing test
we did not ask but we have been assessed
at the deep end of the genetic pool

the exam marker his tale

 this sends out bucketsful of old cliché
and tells us nothing not already known
the whole mystique's quite completely blown
by page one's end and there's no more to say
but the dumb writer has been led astray
by the desire in their small heart soon sown
to make mysterious what we would bemoan
if a small child should bring to light of day
we ask you simply to tell the plain tale
not ring it with a bouquet of dead weeds
but you insist on wasting all that ink
on one more episode of epic fail
another listing of most boring deeds
with cheap cologne to hide the nasty stink
