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
