| Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was slightly grey
 It didn't have a father, just some borrowed DNA
 
 It sort of had a mother, though the ovum was on loan
 It was not so much a lambkin as a little lamby clone
 
 And soon it had a fellow clone, and soon it had some more
 They followed her to school one day, all cramming through the door
 
 It made the children laugh and sing, the teachers found it droll
 There were too many lamby clones for Mary to control
 
 No other could control the sheep, since the programs didn't vary
 So the scientists resolved it all by simply cloning Mary
 
 But now they feel quite sheepish, those scientists unwary
 One problem solved but what to do with Mary, Mary, Mary.
