Who was seeking the Fountain of Youth,
Dr. Jafari of UCal (at Irvine)
Of longevity is in pursuit.
So far, she has proven that fruit flies
Live longer, when cinnamon fed,
And this fact, if true, may give rise
To longer existence, just yet.
A noble endeavor it sure is,
That may prove to all mankind a boon,
And bring to her prizes and hubris,
If a pill could be made real soon.
It teaches us so in the Bible
That men lived for hundreds of years,
And this research, if it is viable,
May extend life in the Valley of Tears...
