RIP Fruit Files

RIP, Fruit Flies

RIP, ye wee beasties
Know your short life was lived not in vain
Young minds watched you metamorphosize
Wild types, sexing, and X-linked white eye
Mendelian 3 generations after fly napping you.
Science owes much to you.

Drosophila melanogaster , thy name
Fly Morgue in a Biology Lab...
... your final resting place
Or even better...
...in death rejoin the carbon chain.

The only regret, O most worthy Fruit Fly
You missed flying around real fruit!!
