MAMMOTH DNA

A mammoth’s DNA has not been lost
Thanks to its hair preserved in permafrost.
Long, long time that mammoth napped.
Yet its DNA has now been mapped,
Never mind the cost.

In twenty years, due to cloning,
A living mammoth vets may be owning.
And perhaps they will.
But is this a skill
That they should be honing?
