Lol, sure...
An Ode to Eggs
By Rengus Ishyius
Oh wonderful eggs, they simply amaze
even while sitting around in prophase
the nucleus dissolves and not a second too late
for the chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate
when anaphase comes the separation will start
as the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes apart
telephase is short because soon comes the cue
for the process to proceed to prophase two
in metaphase two its back to the plate
for anaphase two where the chromatids separate
after telephase two the cells are cut into pieces
thanks to the process of cytokinesis
now the eggs have a chance to one day maybe
find their match and have a baby
Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Your poem is awsome. But at 12:30 at night, next day when it's due, I read the paper again to check if everything is done right, when I noticed that it's supposed to me mitosis. So I had to redo it. Don't bother making/posting a poem thought, because I found a good one.
