Mitochondrial Eve

T'was the night before Mitochondrial
And all through the whole land
Not a creature was living
Except Noah's small band
Of humans and animals
Of albatrosses and ducks
Of mosquitoes and leeches
Of critters that buck

On Mitochondrial Eve we all sat very still
Because water was rising
And the bilge pumps was broke
Caused by recent downsizing
Haul on that bowline
And get set said he
For we're off and gone
Forty days on the sea


It's a work in progress since no one liked my rap tour de force. Me, bitter? Pshaw.
