Grandmas know a thing or two for Bro Sal

sonnet

Grandmas know a thing or two

 

 My genetic inheritance

encoded in my D.N.A

Is modified by circumstance.

A complicated interplay.

 

We do not fully understand.

 Although we are beginning to.

We cannot dismiss out of hand

all of the things we thought were true.

 

 Until we prove that they are not

That is the goal we should pursue

We must hold fast to what we’ve got.

Until we’re sure that we can do.

 

A better job than grandma could.

Though she would laugh I’m sure she would.
