Squelched Evolution
I fear there’s a frustrating schism
between progress and atavism.
For though I’d like to best my folks,
adding my genius to the yolks
of eggs of the next generation,
instead I feel great perturbation.
I could improve the family genes,
but fear that I have not the means.
For though I’m sure I’m an improvement,
our gene pool won’t see any movement.
There is a sure futility
regarding mutability.
My evolution’s hit the skids.
I forgot to have some kids!!!!
This was written to fulfill two prompts. The RDP daily prompt is atavism and Daily Addiction’s prompt is futile.

Just curious, Judy: is ativism a child of atavism and activism?

You caught me, Dolly. Thanks for the save. I must admit that I had to look the word up. All is correct now, thanks to thee. (You smart aleck.)

You give me more credit than is due. It was a spelling error only…;o)

Sometimes errors end up bearing meaning, and this is one of those cases.

Haha. I wonder if my childless sibling has had the same thought about our lineage. 🙂
