“July 5, 1996- Happy Birthday Dolly!
No party hats or balloons for you,
Wooly Siren or dream induced Muse-
Diversity defunct, it doesn’t take two!
Finn Dorset Ewe- who are you?

This is a tangled web we weave.
Tendons, ligaments, kidneys, hearts-
Spare parts, DNA pedigrees, designer babies-
Selecting, connecting, slicing and splicing.
Finn Dorset Ewe- who are you?

Cloning our way to eternal life-
Mind, body, but whose spirit, Dolly?
Animal voices become a Greek chorus
Foreshadowing our Fountain of Youth,
Finn Dorset Ewe- who are you?

But do our means justify our end?
Siren or Muse, reflect on this:
The magnitude of our imposition
Requires ego and will so profound
Narcissus recoils and mighty Zeus frowns.”
