Musings on a ‘Go Plus Coffee Bar’ cheese scone and evolutionary genetics
by Marilyn Longstaff
This is the worst cheese scone I’ve ever tasted,
drier than the driest theological tome; to think
that evolutionary genetics have led to this poor thing,
sans cheese, sans anything to make the taste buds drip.
I guess it must be random drift, or a mutation –
it certainly isn’t natural selection –
let’s hope it’s reached a natural conclusion,
that it will be the last one of its kind,
that it will face a well-deserved extinction.
