This is cute and geeky

And in French.

But there's a translation!

When I was at school,
There was a girl who sat next to me
Since she was female and I was male,
I decided to make her my fiancé.
But, having paid no attention to my bio class,
To make myself seen, I played the idiot.
I leaned towards her and declared
The following words, a little bit as they came to me

Oh, like a coccolithophorid
Stuck between the tertiary and cretaceous
The beating of my distraught heart
Made me understand that you were my girl

She looked at me, dumbfounded. I was afraid I had said something stupid
Then her face with a dazzling smile
Revealed to me all her beautiful teeth
And when the teacher addressed immunology
She responded to me, not at all shy:

If you are a coccolithophorid
Stuck between the tertiary and the cretaceous, then I am a trilobite dead
For at least 200 million years

Apparently, she followed better than I
The few bio classes that I was there for
But while the class drew antibodies
I couldn't resign myself to forgetting her body
So putting together the few pieces of paper I had
I succeeded in replying:

Genetic polyallelism expresses itself
Through the phenotypic diversity of individuals
These few words, I ranted to tell you that you have the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen
Looking at me, she laughed
And responded to me on a little piece of paper

Genetic polyallelism expresses itself
Through the phenotypic diversity of individuals
These few words, I know you impress them
And I expect to see you this evening after class

And walking on the stratigraphic scale
Flouting geological time
Our hypothalamus boiling
We participated in evolution!!!


Which reminds me. I found my scalpel handle! It was hidden among papers in the glovebox of my car. God knows how it got there but I'm glad I found it. I had plenty of blades but no handle to mount them on.
