They found a useful new mutation,-
A gene causing cholesterol to drop!
And lots of chemists joined the race
To help save the human race,
And engaged in their trials, without stop.
Measles were eliminated.
A polio-free land was created,
Why not rid the world of heart disease?
Drug companies were energetic
Starting efforts quite frenetic,
While envisaging great profits, if you please...
With the microscopes' lights glowing,
Petri dishes overflowing,
Companies outdid themselves in zeal,
To eliminate distractions
And to mimic this gene's action,
To use Nature's trick to try cure Nature's ills...
