Something I wrote long ago.


You know they will


They'll clone dogs
But it won't catch on
(except among the rich)
until they breed new characteristics into them:
--ability to drive
--balance a checkbook
--sort laundry and help with homework.

when they clone cats it won't work
& no one will ever know why.

When chickens are cloned an industry will collapse
Only to reappear when cloning becomes so cheap
Anybody with a government farm subsidy can do it
But cloned chicken will be no different from the old-fashioned kind
Which was practically cloned anyway.

They'll clone exotic animals for food
But they'll all taste like chicken.

People will be cloned constantly
But always in secret
& soap operas will at last have
a good explanation for all those
long-lost twins.
