Replying to a comment on:

Baggage (3rd ending) (Free verse) by INTRANSIT

Such unfortunate things are carried in the genes. A switchblade A ring of unused keys A spare umbilical cord A jolly roger A cat's eye A rabbit's ear A doorknob that came off in the hand. Screaming D.N.A and too many why chromosomes speech impediments extra fingers knees full of arthritis.

Really good stuff. I like the 'why chromosomes' pun. This short and sharp. Top marks, my friend.
