My high-school buddies might enjoy this; I found it in a box full of old stuff. And, I distinctly remember Diana reading this aloud as she stood on a chair in the journalism room!
Enjoy!
Does DNA exist?
I am thinking no
Have you ever seen one?
I do not think so
What's an atom? Tell me please
I don't think they're there
You can't convince me otherwise
Anyway, I don't care
If it's not wide or thick
How can a point even be?
Or a line or a plane
Since it's soething no one can see
So a cell's so infinitely small
Yet pcked with tinier things?
Somehow I'm not so sure you're right.
Who's been pulling your strings?
Can you tell me why it's like it is?
If I saw it I would know
But I've yet to see a DNA
Or a line go and go
I'm one big thing, that's what I am
I don't need atoms or cells
And space is space, no lines or planes . . .
No reticulums or organelles
I can believe big things that are real,
But this other stuff, I can't
it's all a bunch of nothing
Not true and that is that!

Still makes me laugh! And I think your use of the word "reticulum" is the most artful construction I've ever read. What a silly serious word!
