[Newspoetry] scientists make blood with stem cells

[Joe Futrelle]

scientists make blood with stem cells
(with apologies to Kool & the Gang)

oh yes it's stem cell night
and the feeling's right
oh yes it's stem cell night
oh what a night

cells, y'all got one
a night that's special everywhere
from NIH to Hollywood
it's stem cell night and cell
the feeling's good

romantic cell line, single enzyme
mm sophisticated genome
come on let's discover a way
to grow with us tonight, stem cell, yeah

if you hear any noise
it ain't the adult cells, it's stem cell night, uh huh

gonna split up stem cell night
dividin' up stem cell night
gonna split up stem cell night
dividin' up stem cell night

in petri dishes your genes will be expressed
you can fulfill our request
blood cells here, bone cells there, everywhere
this is your night, stem cell
you've got to be there

this is your night 
tonight, everything is gonna be alright

come on let's all cell-ebrate

oh stem cell night and the feeling's right
come on let's all cell-ebrate
lovely stem cell, stem cell, we love you

cells, y'all got one (what?)
a night that's special everywhere
you split, you grow, the nerds go wild
so chic so therapeutic you all look so privatizable
