When they crossed an orange with a tangerine long ago, <br />They wisely called the resultant new fruit a “tangelo.” <br /> <br />I am eagerly awaiting the crossing of an orange with a grapefruit, <br />For, since it would be ridiculous to call the result an “apefruit, ” <br />Might they therefore be inclined to call the new fruit a “grorange, ” <br />Which, besides giving us a new treat, would provide the English language at last with a rhyme for “orange.”<br /><br />John Bliven Morin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reflections-on-genetic-engineering/
