Just a play of words

This is not a poem :))

pleasantly surprised the famous geneticist also writes poems - can't say he is that good but hey, word play is always fun. So I made up a few lines, too:

first you would decipher, Dr. Stefansson,
in the genomic forest of Icelandic fellows
the faulty code of diabetes
then you could scrutinize the fine hairs
of your dear Northern fairies - me


Where do I find, lost in the brightness of a sunlit day,
The happiness of an unhappy man
Fortunate only to be just one copy of himself.
Everything else stinks -
Kári Stefansson
