Hey, I Really am a Neanderthal!
The spit-into-a-cup DNA folks
Advise me that 742 strands
Of vintage Neanderthal DNA
Are roaming loose in the tunnels of my being
It’s good to be descended from a fine old family
Maybe that’s why my ideas drag the ground
As I lope along following the science
Live chicken tastes a lot like rattlesnake
Why don’t you join me for dinner with the neighbors?
Their brains will go well with hyena blood

Do Neanderthals scan for blank verse?
