Bertha's demo

Bertha’s Demo

Bertha’s demo was on DNA
Where it comes from in class we can’t say
“Ask your parents,” she said.
“not when they’re in bed,”
"or they’ll tell you to go out and play.”

  • Ms. Bertha teaches fifth grade,
    but our science knowledge did fade.
    We learned about genes,
    this weird bunch of fiends.
    "Now write a cinquain," Bertha did bade.

  • There was a demo on genes
    that tells if our eyes will be gree
    - there was no explaining
    - without more training
    How we are what our ancestors had been

  • We had a presentation on writing;
    All the activities were inviting.
    She showed us a movie;
    The music was groovie.
    Genes and chromosomes are exciting!

  • Bertha is a science teacher
    She is married to a preacher
    She talked about genes
    Oh what a scene
    We saw a two-headed creature

  • Bertha taught about genes,
    And though she's nice and not mean,
    I couldn't get down
    How blue eyes get brown,
    But at least the demo was clean.

  • Limerick for Bertha

    For her demo Bertha was ready
    The DNA questions made some unsteady
    Reasons for our characteristics shown
    Chances of being different from our parents blown
    The discoveries were heady
