My 23 and me is finally done
I find that I have some of Genghis Khan
Napoleon contributed a bit
If I had known it earlier I'd spit
Into that vial much earlier than now
It's so much fun, discovering the how
my endless talents flex their proteins
My cultured education don't mean beans
As we get older, we discover, sad
We owe it all, it turns, to mom and dad
