Ah, Genetics

Ah, Genetics!  They are twice as good as Vegas.
The house only wins half the time,
and their study is science, not economics,
But there is no love lost for genetics in my house.
I got my father's back and ingrown toenail.
I got my mother's knees and mental illness.
Though I hold those four cards and a joker
(I need someone around to laugh the luck of my draw),
The only choice is to see the hand through,
See what a pale half my parents' minds can do.

I refuse to fold this hand.
I can only ante the next one in hell.
