“Could mouse sperm orbiting Earth be the future of humanity?”
—CNN

Some questions just should not be asked.
This is, of many, one.
I understand a scribe was tasked
To make a headline fun,
But—due respect to Mickey Mouse,
Toward Minnie, sweetly potent—
I’d think a Berlioz or Strauss
Should donate, not a rodent.
