Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Old DNA

My million year old DNA

Now is in twenty twenty one

Being studied in modern way,

And my story has just begun.

The DNA does come from teeth

Of mine found in the buried cold.

What of my secrets lie beneath

To be revealed anew from old?

From my teeth, humans hope to solve

Long unanswered questions of why

My species did cease to evolve.

Perhaps in vain I did not die.

My DNA, a study be

Of wild and wooly mammoth - me!
