This is a small attempt on my part to highlight some of the important properties of deoxyribonucleic acid – commonly called DNA that is the biochemical basis of all life. I have tried my best to keep it as simple as possible. A, T, C and G are the nitrogenous bases found in DNA and they are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine, respectively. My inspiration to write this came after I watched a popular crime serial called ‘Monk’ on the television. Mr. Monk plays the detective in it and he is the person I am referring to in the concluding line of this poem.

My experience of having my ear cartilage pierced – don’t make the same mistakes I did.
