Snuppy

Born in South Korea
well that's debatable
Somatic transfer
thats the grand idea
Cloned like Dolly
the first sheep we'd heard of
An Afghan Hound
whose brother died, we hear

NZ-2 a name to really conjur with
The hound they just called Snuppy
and the world
Watches as his life may soon unravel
Caged,Laboratorised,and who knows
hurled
Into the great experiment called Cloning
Conception the redemption of the soul
Sentient theres no doubt its won its colours
But the cloners have the ultimate control

or do they?
we remember poor young Dolly
came of age
and went beyond at speed
Now we'll watch and wait
and possibly berate
The Authorities who allowed this evil deed
Somewhere in the dark depths of depravity
Science I feel confident doth feed
A man I'm sure of that, perhaps a figure
we all know someone madder than before
No doubt we all have ideas who it might be
Someone who goes blindly into war?
