The following poem was inspired by poems by Douglas Florian!

"A Bit of Genetics"

Four boxes
Sixteen boxes
Sixty four boxes!

Punnett squares,
Big and small,
Will you be short?
Or will you be tall?

Your genes take responsibility
For determining your abilities --
It's all probability!

Dominant genes are always oppressive 
Towards all that's recessive.

Incompletely dominant and the blending is prominent!

Codominance makes all alleles brave,
and mix together with confidence

And so as you can see,
Genetics really isn't so hard;
But if you were an absentee,
You might not want to see your report card.
