Analysis of Genes
We all hope to inherit the best genes in the pool.
Longevity from grandma, from grandpa ease and cool.
We all hope to inherit the best genes of the soul.
Spiritual from grandma, from grandpa style and role.
We all hope to inherit the best genes in the batch.
Vigorousness from grandma, from grandpa fit and match.
We all hope to inherit the best genes for the face.
Attractiveness from grandma, from grandpa charm and grace.
We all hope to inherit the best genes on the earth.
Intelligence from grandma, from grandpa joy and mirth.
We all hope to inherit the best genes of the heart.
Benevolence from grandma, from grandpa skill and art.
We all hope to inherit the best genes in the pool.
Dynamism from grandma, from grandpa golden rule.
