THE CLONING CONTROVERSY

                                              Mary had a little lamb
                                        its fleece was slightly gray.
                                        It didn't have a father
                                        just some borrowed DNA.

                                        It sort of had a mother
                                        though the ovum was on loan,
                                        It was not so much a lambkin
                                       As a little lamby clone.

                                       And soon it had a fellow clone
                                       and soon it had some more,
                                       They followed her to school one day
                                       all cramming through the door.

                                       It made the children laugh and play
                                       the teachers found it droll,
                                       There were too many lamby clones
                                       For Mary to control.

                                       No other could control the sheep
                                       Since their programs didn't vary,
                                       So the scientists resolved it all
                                       By simply cloning Mary.

                                       But now they feel quite sheepish
                                       Those scientists unwary,
                                       One problem solved, but what to do
                                       With Mary, Mary, Mary……..
